Laura Vane & The Vipertones

With the imminent completion of their debut LP in spring 2009 we proudly introduce Laura Vane & The Vipertones that will soon release 7" containing the dancefloor groovin' 'Steam' & the soul shakin' 'Man Of Your Word'.

Drawn together from both sides of the North Sea, Laura Vane & The Vipertones are a new (although most likely already familiar) group consisting of musicians from various Dutch & UK projects, pooling their respective skills together for this remarkably traditional funk & soul mission. From Holland (Dordrecht near Rotterdam) Phil Martin & Ton Van Der Kolk (AIFF, Unique Records) provide instrumental elegance and talent for developing the grooves and beats fired over the internet from the relentless Jonathan Radford (Diesler//Burnley near Manchester, UK). Finally the music, in its rawest form resides temporarily with Laura Vane (Miss honey-over-sandpaper tones/Brighton, UK) who locks herself away from the modern world to work on the sweet vocals and inspired lyrics.

Musicians
Laura Vane // Jonathan Radford // Ton van der Kolk // Phil Martin // Rob Geboers & Eric van Dijsseldonk // Rolf Delfos // Cees Trappenburg // Peter Broekhuizen
