Our third album "Vicious Echo" is out April 2009 on Target's Tactic Records Label in association with our label Slingshot Sound.
Our second album "Vulcan Gas Company" is out march 1st, 2007 on I-tunes worldwide and in Denmark as CD.
We recorded it in Copenhagen and London. We recorded the songs live and used only up to three takes on each song - to keep it fresh and steaming. There are some real cool uptempo songs with twangy guitars, tight bass and drums and that cool baritone vocal. We're very happy with the result.
There are some cool guests on the album; Baby Woodrose, Lise Cabble (ex. Miss B. Haven) and from the first album Mick Grondahl is doing a new york raspy announcment in the intro track "Vulcan Airwaves" and we got keyboard wizz Nick Torp to supply us with some keytouches on a couple of songs.
Viva Vertigo is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Simon Beck who under the moniker Viva Vertigo has put together a strong team of musicians to perform the songs on his debut album. Viva Viva has been on the way for a long time since Simon Beck cut the first demos on a 4-track recorder back in 1999.
The material grew from acoustic songs to a more rocking sound and things progressed when Beck met Sune Rose Wagner (The Raveonettes) and Mick Grondahl (Jeff Buckley Band) who had recently moved to Copenhagen. That shaped the idea of recording Simon Becks songs with skilled musicians while maintaining an open band structure. A structure that still exists today and enables Simon Beck to work with musicians of his choice.
The songs on Viva Viva have a timeless quality to them and finds inspiration in a
wide range of sounds from the 60's to the present. Viva Vertigo combine upbeat
rockers like "Devilhead" and "Viva Viva" with melodic baritone songs like "Jaguar
Tornado" with great ease and the album sounds cohesive although the songs can be
everything from dreamy, shamelessly poppy tunes to right on guitar rock with a
ghostrider touch. Becks background as a singer/songwriter shines through but he is
not afraid of rocking out when necessary.
Viva Viva was recorded during 2002 at various nightly sessions at Sauna Recording
Studio and Winther Wonderland in Copenhagen. Then the master was literally left
under Simon Becks bed during 2003 where he among other things moved to Los Angeles for awhile. But late last year it was finally time to do something about the recordings and Beck got in touch with Bad Afro who soon heard the potential in Viva Vertigo.
The album got released in May 2004 in Denmark and June in various European countries.
Viva Vertigo has toured in Denmark 2002-05. Among it they opened for The Raveonettes and Baby Woodrose on some tours.
Viva Viva was recorded and produced by Sune Rose Wagner who also played guitar and various instruments. Mick Grondahl played bass and drum duties were mostly performed by Kristoffer Sonne with Kristoffer Sjelberg and Jakob Hoyer on a couple each.
Now Viva Vertigo consists of: Simon Beck (vocals, guitar), Sara Lewis Sorensen (guitar, vocal), Anders Wallin (bass, vocal) and Kristoffer Sonne (drums, percussion)
