   About Vermouth
Vermouth performs Retrofuture Pop Exotica filled with intricate vocal harmonies, atmospheric guitars, keyboards, trumpet, bass and drums. Quirky and catchy- with songs featuring sea anemones, go go dancers, iguanas and various tales of idiosyncratic friends- Vermouth condenses an eclectic assortment of influences into bite size chunks of pop music that are both melodic and offbeat.

Looks like Wed. is a go.
Could be really weird, but that can also be fun.
I have you on the super VIP list, which means S may get frisked.

Thanks for your concern, I'm fine, just having a cleansing fast, I'm drinking fresh vegetable juice and herbal tea. I do this twice a year. Gets the yuck out.

My son likes iguanas too!

This is not the same Vermouth I saw in SC @ the Cable TV studio gig... back in '04 I reckon. You folks are evolving into something fierce! Collage has officially blown my head off and I am completely addicted. Rippin' polyrhythmic guitar, syncopated horns and sweet, swingin' sometimes bashy drums! I love this tune. Did I say that already??? Also diggin' the other two posts and my 4 1/2 yr old niece loves singin' along w/ Justine! Please send Matthew love from Robert G... Thanx and keep up the great writing and arrangements post more trax!!! Heart. RJG

Bordello is just not the same without you...went there the other night for other music and thought of you. Hoping to see another show soon. :-)

Wish I could be there to witness your triumph. :)

ADVICE

Someone dancing inside us
has learned only a few steps:
the “Do-Your-Work” in 4/4 time,
and the ”What-Do-You-Expect” waltz.
He hasn’t noticed yet the woman
standing away from the lamp,
the one with black eyes
who knows the rumba
and strange steps in jumpy
rhythms from the mountains of Bulgaria.
If they dance together,
something unexpected will happen.
If they don’t, the next world
will be a lot like this one.

It bears repeating. Vermouth is a great band. Last Thursday was no exception.

Don't believe the other reports. 31 July brought us an angry Vermouth. I now have a pending restraining order against them and their barrage of tumbleweed-flavored lizard spy rock.
