EVERYBODY WANG CHUNG!!! Wang Chung came out of the post-punk, New Wave scene in the UK, going on to achieve global success, selling millions of records. Throughout their 40 year career they have released 6 albums and 2 Greatest Hits compilations. They have had 6 US Top 40 hits including a number 1 and other international smash hits including 'Dance Hall Days' and 'Let’s Go', and achieved cult status with their soundtrack and score for legendary director of 'The Exorcist' and 'French Connection', William Friedkin’s movie 'To Live and Die in LA', as well as their original song contribution to John Hughes’ legendary movie, The Breakfast Club. In the process of all of this (and somewhat unintentionally), Wang Chung became part of the contemporary culture of North America. Their huge smash 'Everybody Have Fun Tonight', with its now famous line ''Everybody Wang Chung Tonight'' saw the invention of a new US verb: ''to Wang Chung'', the band being name-checked by everyone from Homer Simpson, Austin Powers, Two and a Half Men’s Charlie and Alan Harper, Top Gear’s James May and Richard Hammond, to Frasier Crane to name just a few.
More recently their music has also featured in TV shows like The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, South Park, Glee, This is Us, SNL and The Goldbergs, amongst many others...as well as in movies like Bumblebee, Deadpool and The Fighter. They have also featured in various huge video game titles like Grand Theft Auto:Vice City and in many big commercials. On the live front, they have toured extensively to great acclaim and continue to successfully 'Wang Chung' audiences all over the world. In 2012 they ventured back into the studio to record an album of new material, called ’Tazer Up!’ and in 2019 they released a newly recorded album of orchestral reinterpretations of their biggest songs…performed with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. It is called 'Orchesography' and is on August Day Records.
Them Vibes formed and honed in East Nashville, TN by lead singer Brother Love and guitarist Alex Haddad, Them Vibes shook the foundations of Music City with their blitzkrieg live show and soulful songwriting. Inflected with the rhythmic sway of The Faces and T-Rex, the raw energy of the Rolling Stones and the Black Crowes, and the whiplash funk of Sly And The Family Stone and James Brown, Them Vibes has risen to a sonic experience all of their own.
The band has opened for household names like Cage the Elephant, Fantastic Negrito, Dumpstaphunk, Cheap Trick, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and The Flaming Lips. With four records under their belt- Shine On, TV, Electric Fever, Why The Funk Not- and a brand new LP on the way, their songs have been featured on CBS's NCIS: LA, ABC's The Rookie, Showtime's Shameless, Amazon's Sneaky Pete, Netflix's The Ranch, and a National T-Mobile campaign. America's number one independent radio station, Lightning 100 WRLT, ranked their self titled single, Electric Fever, number 22 in the Top 200 Songs of The Year and Top 4 Best Shows To See Live! A Year later , their DIY single release of the funk heavy cut, Right On, was ranked number 4, rising above innumerable major label acts.
Fresh out of the studio, Them Vibes newest record is a kaleidoscopic bang of color and sound. It’s deep yet cheeky. Free but structurally mature. Funked up and rocked far out. They call their record Sonic Chameleonic, and it is exactly that: one organic musical force sonically color-defying with every track. Available on all streaming platforms, and 140 gram vinyl.
