Vic Thrill is a super freak born out of the bowels of the music industry. The band was founded by former members of the Bogmen and Garden Variety, both were successful touring bands in the old millennium. After the demise of both bands, with much unfinished business, the two camps fused their exotic alternative and indie punk in the electronic realm. The live show ranges from full-on multimedia, electronic circus extravaganzas to trashy basement gigs.
The vibe is fast and furious positivity. This is the CD that will stay in your stereo for months.
Vic Thrill's CD, "CE-5," produced by Robbie Adams (U2, Smashing Pumpkins) is the bands first full length release on Circus Clone Records. "CE-5" (Close Encounters of the 5th Kind, see liner notes) delivers a sonic shout out to the far reaches of the universe, and soon there will be an answer.
Vic Thrill - Vocals, electronic choir, guitar, beats
Saturn Missile - Fancy Guitar
Baron Von Leinenkugel - Drums

Crap. If you are venturing to this band because you were a past Bogmen fan, go back. Do not pass GO. And save the dough.
Campion goes for a newer sound and just misses. He misses by such a wide margin it would not be a shock to see the Bogmen get back togather as it has proven the easiest way for the front of the band to make a living. Mark my words!

2/3rds Great...1/3rd filler

Nice work. Updated Devo mod/trance thingy going on. Kinda like Jesus Jones without the wussy-factor. Goes well with hipsters at a bbq. But not entirely even. Since the length is a bit short by today's standards (40-something minutes) there are a few songs that don't stand up to the rest. But that's a nit. Looking forward to the next release from these guys.

This is one of my favorite things right now - the music is fresh and infectuous, and the joy taken making this music is obvious. This CD reminds me what I love about listening to, and making, music. It's crazy and raw--but not sloppy, everything belongs. The energy and focus and inventive spirit of these songs cannot be denied. The grooves are solid and original, the vocals are joyous and crazy, the lyrics are sci fi and cool. It all sounds like a damn good time.
I came to this CD 3 or so years after it was made--I heard a brief snippet of "Hummingbird Pneumonia" on a radio story, and was on CD Baby within 5 minutes ordering the CD. It caught me that quickly.
