BodyQuake

Can you feel it? There's a rumble in your ears, a tremble in your knees, the world as you've known it is about to split, swallow you up whole and spit you out! Then, and only then, you will know you've heard 'BodyQuake' the long awaited and eagerly anticipated third album from Laura Vane and The Vipertones!

It may seem like a long time since Laura and the guys took to the stage, but rest assured that they've been focusing all their efforts in the studio to create a new, hot and exciting sound! This album and indeed the band, have been on a journey for the past 18 months, peering through various windows, stretching into different spaces and smashing together diverse flavours in order to bring you what we all believe to be, the best of their song writing in 2014. The album struts about with all kinds of instrumentation from hard electric guitar and dirty synth bass lines to delicate emotional strings and infectious hooky harmonica. With dance grooves to sustain the heat and ballads to cool you off gently, this album puts ticks in all the boxes!

We are also pleased to announce that they have been blessed with very special guest vocalist on one of their new songs. The very talented Jono McCleery with his super soulful and distinctive tone, joins Laura for a duet and brings a sharp burst of contrast and beautiful harmony to the album.

Inspirations for the album were delivered by Aretha Franklin, Elle Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Lewis Taylor, Carleen Anderson, Kelis, Michael Jackson , Annie Lennox , Jamiroquai... quite the arsenal of talent, eh?

Laura Vane & The Vipertones are looking forward to playing plenty of shows in 2014 and making a lot of noise! Those of you that have seen them perform in the past might notice a difference on stage as they've shrunk themselves down to a tidy and powerful 5 piece. Remember to keep checking out their live listings.
