   About VOX POPULI
VOX POPULI was born as a creative act in 1990 as a collaboration of spoken word and music between Paul (guitarist) and Todd (vocals). It soon swelled into a multi-media event that included spoken/sung thematic performances that included multiple found object percussionists/noise-ologists as well as traditional instruments, and at one point interpretive dance and video. the revolving cast included up to eight individuals and an ever progressing sound throughout multiple disbanding and reformations... little documentation remains unfortunately...over the years the band has slimmed to core devoted members and coalesced into a standard four peice outfit of melody and noise. thus it continues today. Our performance schedule routinely oscillates between sparseness and density depending on our recording schedules and life's demands.

Thanks for the music Vox Populi. You guys are one of the most important bands to ever come out of WV or anywhere else for that matter! Your live shows will be missed but at least we have a new album to look forward to. You will live on through our stereo speakers and Todd's words will influence us always.
