“Filmmaker Jay Rodan captures on film the collaborative effort between Marc Jacobs, Larry Clark, and Tiffany Limos for the Dirty Durty Diary magazine editorial spread entitled “Marc on Clark” shot by Kayt Jones. Marc Jacobs clothing reinterprets Larry Clark’s cinematic offerings in this beautiful montage.” Using our song “Leaving On The 5th” makes an awesome video that much sweeter!

Kevin Bronson, over at Buzzbands.LA gave us a very sweet band write-up. Thanks man!! Check it out below. You can even download our latest song “Leaving on the 5th!”

Voxhaul Broadcast has pretty much taken Los Angeles by storm this year, juggling a passel of sweaty live shows with recording sessions to complete its debut album, “Timing Is Everything.” The songs made by the quartet of David Dennis, Anthony Aguiar, Phillip Munsey II and Kurt Allen walk an exhilarating tightrope between rock ’n’ soul and razor-edged indie rock, foot-stomping one moment and kaleidoscopic the next. The long-awaited album will finally be out Nov. 2 (look for a record-release show that week). You may have heard this first single on the radio — it’s gotten airplay on both sides of the Atlantic.

PRESS RELEASE: SUMMER 2010 NATIONAL TOUR

08.05.10

SELECT DATES WITH ROBBERS ON HIGH STREET

New York, NY – California sensations and the fastest rising band in LA, VOHAUL BROADCAST is pleased to announce their Summer ’10 national tour. Brooklyn’s Robbers On High Street will share the stage with the LA quartet for a few select dates in the NorthEast.

Currently rotating nine songs on US & UK radio, VOXHAUL BROADCAST will be touring all summer to build steam for the release of their appropriately titled upcoming debut full-length Timing Is Everything. Produced by Grammy Award winning producer Tom Biller (Silver Sun Pickups, Seawolf, Liars) with additional production from Chris Thorne (Blind Melon), Timing Is Everything showcases a growth in songwriting and pristine production while still holding true to the band’s trademark blend of r&b, rock and soul.

LA Times Magazine’s June 2010 “Music Issue” recently picked Voxhaul Broadcast as one of LA’s ‘Best New Indie Bands’ by ultimate tastemaker Nic Harcourt. Nic was the first to put VB on air on his Sunday KCRW show, and over the past six months has kept eight different tracks in rotation. In July 2010, VOXHAUL BROADCAST was featured on KCRW’s influential radio program “Morning Becomes Eclectic,” a program recognized nationally as a primary outlet for promoting a wide range of music ahead of the curve.

Jason Bentley, KCRW Music Director and host of “Morning Becomes Eclectic” said of the appearance, “We are all very excited about this up and coming local band. The audience response to their performance on ‘Morning Becomes Eclectic’ has been outstanding. It’s a rare and special pleasure to be part of a formative moment in a band’s career. We’ve been playing their various EPs and we’re confident that whatever sound and style they pursue on their debut full length will bring them success.”

VOXHAUL BROADCAST tunes are also making their way across the pond, spending 7 weeks on the UK’s NME Radio playlist with the track “Fact or Fiction” at the end of 2009. Chris Martin from NME Radio declared, “I f***ing love this track (‘Fact or Fiction’) by Voxhaul Broadcast. Someone sign them!”

VOXHAUL BROADCAST has showcased at SXSW, CMJ, Sundance, Noisepop Pop Fest in San Francisco, been featured on DAYTROTTER (w/ a second session booked for later this summer) and won the title of ‘Best Indie Band’ at Milwaukee’s Summerfest. They recently headlined KCRW’s “I LIKE TO ROCK” showcase at the Hammer Museum in LA and have been confirmed as an early-announced artist for FILTER Magazine’s Culture Collide Festival in October.

“Yet another great Southern California band set to make waves. Already getting airplay in the U.K. (why is it the Brits ‘get’ our bands before we do?), they mix up classic soul-singer influences with catchy guitar rock.”
- Nic Harcourt, LA MAGAZINE

“L.A.’s own Voxhaul Broadcast are a band to watch in 2010, creating hook-filled anthems of love and longing.”
- KCRW

“I f***ing love this track by Voxhaul Broadcast. ‘Fact or Fiction’. Someone sign them!”
- Chris Martin, NME RADIO

“They combine the straightforward strut of The Strokes with the psychedelic tendencies of Kula Shaker and create a sound much better suited for halls or arenas. Seriously rocking”
- EARFARM

“Bright, warm and lackadaisical, full of tambourines and promises of cold beers and a BBQ as soon as the surf-filled tracks are perfectly laid down. This is not the sound of pre-conceived coolness, this is unbridled enthusiasm of the sunniest kind, full of clever one-liners, full throated ‘wooohoos’ and a sun-dappled invite to join the party.”
- Christen Thomas, RCRDLBL

“Voxhaul’s amalgam of Motown-infused, British invasion floor-stompers come from pure energy.”
- FLAUNT

“Dennis howls out his words as if they were intended to be the first impressions for women he’d like to impress in a meaningful way, not just to get flirty with. It’s kind of like the way Springsteen would sing if he were trying to get a wife.”
- Sean Moeller, DAYTROTTER

“With lyrics like ‘I need your love in my blood, so I cut off all my limbs’, what’s not to like? A band with massive amounts of potential and star power in surplus.”
- FUTURESOUNDS

Voxhaul Broadcast Live On KCRW!!

Voxhaul Broadcast on KCRW, Live at the Hammer on Thursday

Voxhaul Broadcast are at a creative crossroads. The overlying theme of today’s Morning Becomes Eclectic debut is that they are a local band in the process of finding their identity – and making some pretty great music while they figure it out. Jason has been supporting them since earlier this year, spinning “Shoot the Breeze” and “Blackout Conversations,” among others. He points to the latter track as an example of the band’s growth from a straight ahead rock act to a more poppy, melodic sound.

Today, they proved they can do both well — splitting their sets between the two sounds. It was great to see a band that is so fluid and able to try new things, trusting their instincts no matter where they lead. The locals have released a series EPs and are in the process of properly recording their first full length, set for October release.

Check out their session and go see them live for FREE at the Hammer Museum this Thursday, the last show in the Also I Like to Rock series presented by KCRW. They are promising to make it one to remember.

Dickiessounds.com Q&A With Voxhaul Broadcast

07.15.10

Posted on July 14, 2010

Q: Touring is a big part of a musician’s job nowadays, any advice for artists getting into their first years of touring?
A: Definitely use your bands and personal social networks like myspace, twitter, and facebook to promote all your shows on the road. Also get to know your new fanbase in each new city after shows because if they like you enough they will probably be the first ones promoting your band next time you come to their town and sometimes they will let your band crash at their house which is a lot cheaper then paying for hotel rooms.

Q: You are leaving for tour, list 5 things you can’t live without on the road.
A: 1) Jokes 2) Cheap Food 3) Coffee 4) Cigarettes 5) Our manager’s phone number

Q: What challenges have you overcome as an artist, or band, that have made you a better band/artist?
A: This band has overcome every obstacle from the van breaking down in the middle of the nowhere during a snow storm, to band fights while performing live on stage, to having labels very interested in us then never hearing back from them. I am grateful to be in a band with a group of friends that can experience all these challenges together and still look at the world in a positive way and look forward to seeing what next day holds for us.

Q: What motivates you to continue making music?
A: We have been writing music with one another since we could pick up an instrument so watching each of us grow as an artist is continuously motivating us all the time. Feeling the energy that we bounce off of one another when we play together is a pretty amazing thing to be apart of.

The first record that had an influence on me becoming a musician was Nirvana Nevermind and the first instrument that I ever owned was a red memphis electric guitar.

Q: If you weren’t a musician, what would you be doing?
A: Probably selling mens suits i feel like i would be really good at that.
