The Vees


When I first read about the Vees EP, I tried to search for mp3s and even a site that had it for sale. When I searched on AOL, I came across two other albums.
 


The thing is, these aren’t from the same artist. These albums are actually made by the sons of a pop singer named Bobby Vee from 1959. Despite this, I listened to the samples on allmusic.com for their album Crash Boom Bang It. The songs were actually pretty good, so I bought it. I didn’t buy Moon Dog House Party yet, but I’m pretty sure it will be just as good (there were no samples for this album.)

The album is from 1995 while the sound is from the 50’s. All of these songs were actually recorded live at the Rockhouse studio, which results in a nice sound in all of the tracks.
Some of my favorite tracks include the first song “lipstick Powder and Paint” with some great vocals and nice piano work ans “School of Rock ‘n Roll” which is a nice fast paced song. There’s even a cover of “Viva Las Vegas.”
I don’t know why the band only released two albums, but I would definitely recommend that you check them out if you enjoy any type of rock.
