AMNESIA HAZE! PRE-ORDER NOW!

-.-.-.-.-.Listen to "CASTLES WILL FALL" from our upcoming record -.-.-.-.-.



Our newest LP, Amnesia Haze, is available for pre-order.
Street date 10/6/17 Safety Meeting Records. Tell your local record store that they'd be doing everyone a solid by carrying VLG stuff. We're certain that they'd agree.

GO HERE to order now and sweat it out until the release date.

 Here's what you need to know...
On their 5th full length album, Amnesia Haze, the group set out to deal with some serious shit. The band entered the studio 2 days after the Presidential election. With disgust and uncertainty driving the session the lyrics had changed and the performances intensified. What was once abstractly political had become unapologetically direct. Racial violence, gun violence, police violence, street harassment, xenophobia, fascism, feminism, every point of rage and discourse the country was feeling. Patriarchal Reptile, a free-noise piece voiced by Theremin player Alison Hunger, was recorded and added to the album last minute as a response to the thin-skinned gynophobiac set to lead our country. Amnesia Haze is a cry for unity and awakening  from a band sick of fucking around.



-----------GUESS WHAT ELSE!!!--------------

We'd like to introduce to you our brand new drummer, Ascension 'Izzy' Price!
You may know Izzy from drumming in the Phone Calls, Die Time, Disrobe, and as the leader of get Up With The Get Downs. And as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
our songwriting has intensified and the jams rival the atom-splitting power of Sern Labs. Welcome to the cult, Izzy!

-----------GUESS WHAT ELSE!!--------

We're opening for NIK TURNER'S HAWKWEED on 10/23 at Reggie's in Chicago!
Get your tickets HERE as soon as you can!


That is all for now.
Stay safe, lock arms, and tell them all to fuck off...
