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.”
