Vox von Braun plays the kind of music that’s blasting out the stereo of two peroxide-blondes, driving a convertible, in any of your favourite mid-seventies roadmovies.

The band was founded in 2004 by Wymer Vaatstra (ex-Gluemen) and Frank Hiep (Propeller), because they shared a similar musical background. Soon afterwards they asked Maike Doornebosch (bass) to join. After recording their first EP, Lord of Pesetas, the drummer left the band. With new drummer Janwillem Vanderveen the band started doing more gigs and was signed to Subroutine records.

The early shows were characterized by lots of noise, creating a sound reminiscent of shoegaze. Later gigs brought more balance between popsongs and modern, noisy alienation. The latter is now typical for the sound of the band.

You might’ve seen them play at Vera Groningen (supporting The Rifles), doing showcases in (among others) Amsterdam, Leeuwarden and The Hague, or at Eurosonic 2007.

Early 2007 two new songs were released on a split 7” with De Nieuwe Vrolijkheid. Recordings for the upcoming album are planned.

Besides music, the members of the band share a common interest in black and white films and wine.
