   About The Vestrymen

Roll the video below and revel in the band’s 1991 appearance on the legendary Jersey-based Uncle Floyd Show!
Thanks to Pat for uncovering this gem and making it available to us.
Please visit Pat’s most excellent YouTube page for more Uncle Floyd Shows and other assorted goodies...

Begun in 1986 in Amherst, Massachusetts, The Vestrymen spread their folk-fringed powerpop - often psychedelicised - via the airwaves of college and independent radio. After several independent releases - and lots of miles in vans and pick-up trucks - the band retired from active duty in 1994. But it actually never ends, does it? DOES IT?

More Vestrymen songs can be heard over at OurStage.com

Ha! You still do use me exclusively! I've hand;ed all of you're recording since '96 or '97!

Did I mention that I just got another #1 - "drum producer" on Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl". IT was Billboard's historic 1,00th #1 on the Hot 100 chart.

Can you believe it's come to this - such specilizing that there are "drum producers"? Or maybe just one "drum producer"...

You know what they always say: The best mic for recording drums is "Mike Caffrey"!

(egregious self-promotion alert!)

Hey guys!
I finally (I know, right...) took time to hear you out for real, and I simply love it.
Good music always makes me thirsty, and now I've had to glasses of red vine already while checking out your songs;)
That says it all.
Have a great weekend:)
