This thread is about VAST

VAST is a band that plays music

Wiki says
VAST is an American Alternative rock band based in Austin, Texas. The acronym VAST stands for Visual Audio Sensory Theater and is the main creation of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Crosby. The band is signed to 2blossoms, an independent record company created by Crosby himself. Due to the ever-revolving door of band members and instrumentalists, Crosby is understandably known as the man behind VAST, and directly controls the band's musical direction. VAST's sound is clearly identifiable as ambient electro-rock with considerable industrial and acoustic influences, usually made with Crosby's traditional acoustic guitar, electronic instruments and processing, drum-driven tracks, and heavy bass. On stage, VAST uses elaborate stage monitors and visual effects to compliment the live performances of the tracks.

VAST is pretty cool duders

They have a song featuring cello, which is the single most sexually attractive of instruments

They have some hard rock songs

They have some really awesome recent stuff that I just found out about

VAST is sort of in the same catagory as radiohead for me they produce a lot of varied, quality music in a pop framework but with interesting innovations

    this and radiohead would be pretty decent music if the singers didn't both have such whiny voices

    Hey I have a question
    Back in my old city (aka Shoeland) there was this band called Endangered Ape.

    They were loved by many, but always confused me.

    Can anyone tell me what is appealing about this? It sounds like ... bad.

    It's always sad when you go looking for a clip from a movie on youtube and it's impossible to find a clip that isn't set to Bodies, Clubbed to Death or O Fortuna.

    Turns out that's the only song in which they don't suck.

    They're fucking retarded if they're trying to pass that off as "a part of their artistic vision"

    if part of your artistic vision is to make your albums sound awful so that nobody will listen to your music okay, have fun being horrible.


    fffffffff

    fffffffff

    The only exception being Daniel Johnston when he was having his nervous breakdown and Nick Drake before he killed himself. But then it wasn't really intentional I guess...It was more just them having nothing else to use but tape recorders. I guess it worked though, because I can't imagine it any other way.
