Started in 2004 and soon released an EP, Lord Of Pesetas (2005). After a fuzzy beginning, we somehow got more melody in the songs, but still use a lot of noise. After some band shifts we now play as a four-headed combo.
Went to the UK in 2006 to perform with a few other Dutch bands: the Sugarettes, Appie Kim and Hallo Venray. The evening before Liverpool all of us made our descend in Great Harwood, where we ought to play at the Royal Hotel. It was sort of a miracle that the show went on cause the local diner treated some members of the bands to food poisoning.
During this time we were planning to record an album and in ’07 we went to the studio. We recorded at the Sahara Sound Studios in The Hague with Henk Koorn and did the additional recordings at home. Also asked some music friends to play along on a few tracks, like Natasha van Waardenburg (Appie Kim) and Michael Nolte (The Womans).
So, a year later our debut album Something Ain’t Wrong (2008) was released on Subroutine Records. And yes, this is the place where we should mention all the good reviews. We really liked the one from KEXP from Seattle. Our song ‘when did you become so popular’ went straight to song of the day. After our album we played a lot of great clubs and festival like Eurosonic, ZXZW, Paradiso, Vera and Tivoli. At this very moment, the main thing is working on our second album.

"One of the things we love about Vox Von Braun is the playful approach they take in recognizing their varied and semi-retro influences while maintaining a unique, strong sound that stands more than well enough on its own."

"In hoogtepunten Julia en Morning Sun lijken alle invloeden mooi samen te komen in een indrukwekkend bandgeluid: ranzig maar melodieus, sensueel en krachtig."

"Onze conclusie: 'Something Ain't Wrong' is een debuut-cd waar je mee aan kunt komen en welke een goed inzicht geeft in de grote verscheidenheid van deze band."

"Vox Von Braun verdient een pluim voor de durf waarmee zij de voorkeur geven aan verstopte weelde boven blinkend klatergoud. Als iets niet verkeerd is, hoef je het ook niet aan te prijzen. Het maakt dit debuut alleen maar sterker."

"De plaat kenmerkt zich echter vooral door het grote mate van eigengereidheid. Het levert een broeierige plaat op en weet vanaf de eerste tonen te boeien."

"Het is muziek die je wilt omarmen, maar ook muziek die je door het beklijvende aspect als vanzelf omstrengelt."

“They rock me and I dance unapologetically to their grooves. They make me feel like I'm participating in another era of music... a time when it mattered what you did and what you created. Vox Von Braun completes my evening's therapy with a resounding sonic exclamation mark.”

“The fact that it all looks like it could fall to bits at any time only adds to their charm.”
