Newsflash » Igloos Migrate Southward, Humble Global Warming 'Experts'
The moment you've all been waiting for is upon us. If the first thought that came to your mind was 'The Rapture,' you've been waiting for a different moment than us. The Igloos are recording an album! Yes, we know it's hard to believe. They even played a show. By all accounts, you missed quite a spectacle. In any event, they are recording in the Basement Studios v2.0 because that's what VD bands do.

That's enough gabbing. Do your part, spread the VD!

What's more, all of these options are exceptionally fun!
Finally, we've got some recording news. Grant Gordy has finished up a record with Matt Raum in Nashville. It will see the light of day sometime soon. vee device is readying the release of Act I of their rock opera.

Even The Tanukis are getting in on the action, having begun recording their debut. Stay tuned as we'll be announcing more details in the coming weeks.
Introducing » The Tanukis!
It seems that veedee is growing by leaps and bounds. Seven bands! Count them. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. That's higher than most people can count these days. We are extremely pleased to be bringing The Tanukis into the fold. What kind of music can you expect from them? Good question. Imagine some sort of hybrid between Eastern European folk, punk, flamenco, and pop. Now imagine something else. The Tanukis probably sound like something in-between the two kinds of music you imagined. However you slice it, they are excellent.
Introducing » Nancy Seiters
Bam. veedee is now six strong. We're proud to welcome Nancy Seiters to the family. Leadville, Colorado is her home, but have no fear, her songs are 100% lead free.
