Ten years of the BV3K sound system
Ten years after making the whole world groove to Drinking in L.A. — and blowing
people away with their first major live concert, at the Festival in 1997 — the Bran
Van sound remains instantly recognizable from the first notes, in hits and faves
like Afrodiziak, Couch Surfer and Astounded. And after
absorbing and transforming rock, disco, dance, electro and R&B, they continue
their musical evolution, bringing soul, funk and reggae grooves in their gorgeous
latest release, Rosé.
James Di Salvio likes to say he’s had no formal musical training…
but you’d never know it from the way he schooled the dance world! With Glee
(1998), Discosis (2001) and Rosé (2007), Di Salvio and bandmates
Hawley, Ian Fry, Nick Hynes and Gary
McKenzie stamped the Bran Van 3000 groove on listeners around the world.
But to truly understand this band — or rather, collective — they must be seen live
in concert! Those who’ve caught previous shows still rave about the magic, the fun,
the positivity and the surrealism that make up the Bran Van brand… and eagerly await
their new incarnation!
