Mono In Vcf While Mono In Vcf claim Tacoma, Washington as their headquarters, one listen to their self-titled full length conjures images of the band roaming the Parisian streets on a dark and rainy night, smoking cigarettes under the glow of the Eiffel Tower. Mono In Vcf have proved that even the French haven’t forgotten their Pacific Northwest heritage by getting on rotation on Canal B (Rennes, France) and regular spins on the Ferarock morning show. Seattle's KEXP had the group peaking at number six on its 2008 variety charts, while BBC1’s Rob Da Bank also spun Mono In Vcf that year in England. Jarvis Cocker even selected the band to open for him at his most recent Seattle appearance, April 2007. Original singer and founding member Charles Perales chose the band name as a collision of sounds and eras. The name was just as much a statement of influences: “Mono” paid homage to Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” production, which guitarist and fellow main songwriter Hunter Lea favored a modern representation of on most recordings. "In Vcf" completed the idea of broadcasting sounds through a Moog synthesizer–something Lea does regularly. The group released 'The Voltage Control EP' on May 3, 2005. “Modern Nocturne” and “Ultra Love” became immediate favorites on KEXP-FM in the summer. During 2006 sessions for a debut album via Sony/Columbia, the group disbanded. The 2006 Columbia sessions were never released. Lea and bassist Jordan Luckman–both founding members along with Perales–continued Mono In Vcf in 2007, joined by vocalist Kimberly Miller. The group released an acclaimed self-titled debut on June 17, 2008. Co-produced by Lea and a Seattle mainstay Martin Feveyear (R.E.M., Screaming Trees), the album combines the droning psychedelia of the Velvet Underground and Nico with Phil Spector’s booming “Wall Of Sound.” MONO IN VCF HAS INCLUDED THE MUSICIANS: Scott Clarke, Jason Falk, Martin Feveyear, Tyson Griffin, Chad Imes, Terry Jacks, Rick King, Alan Kropf, Mike Krushka, Hunter Lea, Jordan Luckman, Kimberly Miller, Charles Perales, George Reed-Harmon & Dylan Taggart Mono In Vcf’s tracks The Only One (Crazy Old Bat remix) by Mono In Vcf published on 2018-11-21T06:39:30Z CTYE by Mono In Vcf published on 2018-11-21T06:38:34Z The So Long (KEXP-FM live, September 3, 2005) by Mono In Vcf published on 2017-09-03T16:04:11Z Poems of Joy & Love (KEXP-FM live, September 3, 2005) by Mono In Vcf published on 2017-09-03T16:03:14Z At This Moment (KEXP-FM live, September 3, 2005) by Mono In Vcf published on 2017-09-03T16:01:29Z To Die Tonight (KEXP-FM live, September 3, 2005) by Mono In Vcf published on 2017-09-03T15:56:46Z Escape City Scrapers (Broken Twilight Leaving Night Mix) by Mono In Vcf published on 2015-07-31T07:18:46Z UltraUNDUN (Broken Twilight remix) by Mono In Vcf published on 2012-01-18T19:59:49Z Cinch Ring instrumental by Mono In Vcf published on 2012-01-15T18:34:06Z The Only One instrumental by Mono In Vcf published on 2012-01-15T18:34:06Z
