An upbeat and catchy EP sounds like (Vago) took bits and pieces from Tom Petty's "Wildflowers" album and combined them with Refreshments/Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers songs and added Cancin Del Mariachi to keep it diverse, - Zach Scoville, Omaha City Weekly
This CD by the three-piece Omaha band Vago is a lively little number. Song two, CancinDel Mariachi... who knows what this song's about, it's in Spanish! and it rocks in Spanish. I think he's rippen it up. Yi Yi Yi he does some fine guitar work. When you hear this one, you will be stomping your feet and doing the Mariachi, what ever that is. It does keep the CD rockin out so I say, "Keep it". -The Iowa Entertainer
Let me just leave you with this one piece of advice. Go see Vago. They are a fun band, and yet they can be oddly dark and brooding at the same time. They put on one heck of a show, for I have now learned to listen to music in new ways. I know what happened to me the other night and the boys from Vago can take the credit for that. -David Williams Omaha Pulp Magazine
They don't have that skinny, tortured frailty on stage that's so popular these days, Omaha band Vago none the less have a handle on dark lyrics set to fast paced, guitar driven, in your face alt.rock. - Leslie Prisbell, The Reader
Vago seems to have found a chemistry that works well; Add one part nice lyrical content and
interesting guitar work, one part excellent bass playing and backing vocals, top it all off with great drumming and you get an elixir that is very tasty, very intoxicating, and smooth going down. - Mark Lush midwestbands.com
"Good powerful sound, I like the lyrics."
"Speedy's Lament is one of the best songs I've heard in a while. The
lead guitar kicked the crap out of my head - Amazing! - Vago is great!"
"They deserve credit for delivering the Dead Western motif without a country feel, in fact it's very indie."
"Finally something that doesn't sound the same as everything else. The vocals sound great, the guitars are right on. The sound draws you in and keeps you listening. Great Job!"
"Nice lyrics and imagery."

We have so far been unable to raise the money necessary to put on Dogstock Music Festival benefiting Akita Adoption and Rescue Foundation plus Animal Sanctuary as we face foreclosure and more. We need help and donations of all kinds to keep the rescue going (and keep our home), let alone the festie.
We want to do an online auction of celebrity memorabilia, get some bands to donate a show or two to the cause, and put on a real bell ringer of a fest once our ducks are in a row. In order to pull that off we need many more donations of cool memorabilia and motivated bands that care for the cause.
Our hands are full to overflowing, so we aren't able to leave the farm except for Suzie going to work. If we had more dog care volunteers we could visit with lots of bands at their gigs about doing a series of benefits in clubs, theatres and eventually a better than ever festie here where it all began!
We deeply appreciate any and all assistance, including tax deductible monetary donations, and could sure use more volunteers to help with chores and the dogs. Lots more info is on the myspace dogstock site.
Peace,
