"...A truly mesmerising band, go and see them as soon as you can." JAZZWISE "...earth-shattering, taking a sledgehammer to preconceived limitations of jazz..." - TIME OUT "...this band’s edgy humour, dark near-Satanic thrashing and disdainful virtuosity is both vivid and refreshing...bursting with barely contained passion...an explosive performance...expect further sightings of Marshall amps in jazz clubs near you." - JAZZWISE "The terrific Leeds-based trioVD followed up with an equally ferocious display, this time a fast, tight and awesomely expert conjunction of spiky high-energy compositions, uninhibited sax and guitar improv and machine-gun drumming" John Fordham - London Jazz Festival Review, The Guardian Since their first performances in early 2006, trioVD have proved themselves to be amongst the most exciting and energetic bands associated with the Leeds Improvised Music Association (LIMA). LIMA is a Leeds-based collective of musicians that has been producing and promoting improvised music since it’s inception in 2005. Other LIMA musicians include maverick pianist Matthew Bourne and the in-demand double bassist and composer Dave Kane. “LIMA are rapidly making a name for producing some of the most progressive sounds anywhere in the country” : Jazzwise The past year has seen the band blow away audiences at The London and Gateshead Jazz festivals and feature heavily on Radio 3’s Flagship Jazz show ‘Jazz on 3’. trioVD’s appearance at the Time Out ‘On The Up’ festival was voted ‘4th best gig of the year’ in Time Out’s 2008 round-up. The band were picked to be part of the BBC’s Introducing initiative in 2008 and their cover version of Radiohead’s ‘Nude’ was featured in The Guardian London Jazz Festival special in November 2008. trioVD’s debut album ‘fill it up with ghosts’ will be released by renowned U.K Jazz label Babel (Acoustic Ladyland/ Polar Bear) on November 9th 2009. www.myspace.com/triovd http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/introducing/artists/triovd/ MAZE OUT NOW! - TOURING THE UK AUTUMN 2012!!!!
