This is so not the video Voxtrot needed to make. If you found the band's self-titled LP soporific, this pastiche of clips from a November Bowery gig and moments in the studio (with no relation or regard to the song... CONTINUE READING NEW VOXTROT VIDEO - "STEPHEN"»

We just got through listening to the Voxtrot remixes you guys sent in, and we're impressed! "Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives" is a pop gem, so we weren't sure which direction you guys would go; the best we could ask... CONTINUE READING MOTHERS, SISTERS, DAUGHTERS & REICH»
