Matte Robinson on Trumpet, Keyboard, and vox;
Kora Woolsey on Guitar and Vox;
Jeannine Gallant on Trombone, Keyboard and Vox;
Andrew DeMerchant on Drums;
Scott Culligan on Bass.
Influences
Andrew is influenced by Explosions in the Sky; Matte, Kora and Jeannine are all influenced by Big Band music and various jazz greats; no one is sure what Scott's influences are because he never talks about his musical tastes.
Go to a Vetch show and you see a blur of movement--horn players running around and switching instruments, a bass player dancing as if possessed--a singer with enough pipes to halt any convesation in its tracks, and a mad drummer hiding behind a shy smile. Vetch blends genres--emotionally, playfully, honestly--and crafts original tunes that can be heart-stopping one moment, hilarious the next, and get-off-your-feet-and-move the next. It's an adult alternative soup base with old-time jazz meat and vegetables and indie-rock spice--a creole gumbo always served a little hot.
Our most recent album, Osiris, explores our rock/indie/alternative roots, while our live CD, Live at the Taproom, features the manic jazz influences that often take over during our live shows. Isis, in preproduction, will balance Osiris's heavier rock energy with original jazz-inflenced songs.
I listened to a Vetch Cassette tape (thumbelina) today that I bought in I think 99 or 2000? We played at Chandler's in Sydney together...I still like it as much as I did when I first listened to it... cassettes are not dead!
Hello guys! just listened to your music for a while, it is always a good moment! Do you plan to put some new tracks on the page? if yes let me know! Good work! Great vibration from France!
hey I looove this :) I was especially impressed with the Margaret and Deirdre music. The energy in the song Sword and Shield is just great! Keep rocken.
Salut! Thanks for adding us you guys! Your songs are full of hapiness, and it helps! (A lot,..today!) The draw on your page is soooo cool! Lots of good vibrations from France to you all!!
This promo mixset is a sampler of the slower stuff I like to play as Tao Jones. It's basically a condensed version fo the hour and a half to two hours I normally play. It starts off all chunky and hiphop, gets glitchy, rages it, catches it's breath, and then get's all wobbly in the low end. The last track I probably wouldn't play at an event unless it was really appropriate, but it's one of my favourite songs ever so I thought I'd share it with you.
If you like the music on this set, please support the artists by buying their music and going to their shows.
Thanks and props go out to ana sia, lorin, the glitch mob, and sean conlon, who did shut em down with me.
Much love
Dylan
