Lark's Tongues In Aspic, Part Two
21st Century Schizoid Man 


Within a modern approach, sound and rare energy,
Vrooom! knocks out everyone at each of its live performances.
Formed up in 2004 by three young musicians from Bordeaux,
Vrooom! gets into King Crimson's music with a brand new perspective
and adds its own influences to it in a totally unique musical blend.
Wheter you're a fan of the Crimson King or not, Vrooom! stands still
as a must see on a stage...

[...] The band's got an impressive cohesion and technical mastership, especially if you
consider the very young age of the musicians. [...] You can't miss the band's stage act [...]
Especially the singer/guitar player, rocking like hell while playing with a stunning
self-confidence. [...] an excellent performance.

www.photorock.com
[...] VROOOM, from the very beginning of their live act, showed all its talents and
deserve its name. The masters' songs have been well worked and are well played,
leaving more than a conoisseur astonished. [...] VROOOM played hard pieces like Discipline,
Elephant Talk or the classic 21st Century with no difficulties, and they really shown abilities
to go farther [...]

Sud Ouest
[...] That's the stuff, as we say, a concrete and solid rythmic section,
precision, haunting performance. [...] While some part of the audience still had Vrooom's
musicianship on their mind, King Crimson covers maybe, but what a feeling !
