Sounds LikeA soundtrack to the notion of nonsense. Vibing vaudeville and quoting cabaret, they offer all the sounds of fun and fear, forward-looking nostalgia and emotional slapstick. File under vaudioville, variete concrete, documentary forgery, unsound art, whorespiel, blunderphonics, (not of this) world music, imaginary soundtreks & unimaginative soundtracks.

   About Vernon & Burns
Vernon & Burns are a duo of sound makers who create radio plays, records and performances through an innovative blend of samples, field recordings, storytelling and music.
They have performed across Europe and have produced radio programmes and sound works for the BBC, VPRO, Resonance FM, WFMU, and The Audible Picture Show.
Their debut LP “The Tune the Old Cow Died of” was released on the Gagarin label with a follow up due for release in 2008.
A radio session recorded for VPRO is due for release on Staalplaat’s Mort Aux Vaches series. They have also recorded as Boy Band Tax Returns on the Ultra Eczema label.

Mr. Vernon was a founding member of Glasgow’s pirate art radio collective, ‘Radio Tuesday’ and is one third of ‘Hassle Hound’ who have records released on Pickled Egg, Textile and Staubgold.

Mr. Burns has a layman’s ear.

“They splice real life audio recordings into small plays…… small, fascinating journeys.” Vital Weekly

Curse the awful fleetingness of seeing Vernon & Burns in Belgium, and the drunkness I experienced.
