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.

Voxhaul Broadcast + Chasing Kings

KCRW DJ: Chuck P

Voxhaul Broadcast These KCRW favorites craft hook-filled anthems of love and longing and have established themselves as a “Next Big Thing” wherever they’ve taken the stage.

Chasing Kings The Los Angeles quartet’s breathtaking indie-pop is the stuff of twining guitar riffs, rollicking keys and soaring melodies, all packaged in surprising ways. No surprise that its debut EP “The Current State of Our Future” has won fans instantly.

We were mentioned on KCRW’s blog today! Here’s an excerpt of what they had to say about Voxhaul Broadcast:

“Their music is catchy guitar rock with a heavy soul influence (love those vocals!). Voxhaul Broadcast is preparing the release of a batch of new songs produced by Chris Thorn (from Blind Melon) at his Fireside Studio.  The band will be playing at SXSW next week and, from what I hear about their live shows, I expect them to be one of the breakout bands from our fair city. Represent!” – RR

Jason Bentley played “Lost Along the Way” and has been also playing “Shoot the Breeze” on his radio show Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW this week. To listen to today’s show with Voxhaul Broadcast and to catch their songs go to KCRW.com. Thus far we have had radio play with all of these songs in the last 3 months:

Shoot The Breeze

Blackout Conversation

Fact or Fiction

Lost Along The Way

Tattooed Bible

Days are Long

We have many new songs to come on our New Album so check back often!!!

We are closing out 2009 with the songs “Tattooed Bible,”  “Fact or Fiction,” and “Days are Long,” all getting some serious airplay on a number of very popular radio stations. And these songs all coming off our unknown and unreleased EP “Fact, Fiction & Turquoise.” It’s been a stellar year!

Next year should be no exception. We are hoping to sign with a new label, release a new album, and go on tour all in early 2010.

Check back often, tune in, and get ready for Voxhaul Broadcast to perform in your town!

Thanks for your support and Happy Holidays!
