VANDELLA SURF BORED (ALBUM RELEASE)

Upon seeing Vandella, you might just feel the sort of giddiness that rises up when you stumble upon a hidden gem. Indeed, San Francisco’s indie rock/soul darlings have been coolly holding down their unabashed brand of sweaty, sexy, 70s rock & roll with a quiet determination and an eye on the prize since 2008. Visions of Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks have been rumoured to dance in heads as frontwoman Tracey Holland casts hypnotic spells from her vocal cords and swiveling, Elvis-style hips, both a compelling frontwoman and a monster vocalist, whose voice has been described thusly: “…see vocalist Tracey Holland sing — she has an absolutely amazing voice that has to be seen to be believed.”
