In an unusual turn of events here, this week I have doubleVee on the podcast…the entire band! Welcome both Allan and Barb Vest to the podcast. They are a duo with a very interesting past and a wonderful new EP.
Allan was a musical late bloomer while his wife Barb has it in her blood, literally. Her grandmother was a composer. That led to a really beautiful project, later on, for Barb and Allan. And Barb’s career started in radio, not on the radio. In a bizarre set of coincidences, the two of them met prior to being formally introduced, in a few unconventional ways while Allan was in his previous band, Starlight Mints.
But once they got together, the musical magic started. They have such a unique sound. That’s part of what has helped them master the art of sync. Their music has been in movies including Barnyard, Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj, Smiley Face, and The Art of Getting By. They have also made the cut for shows like Malcolm In The Middle, One Tree Hill, Californication, Gossip Girl, and Tim Burton’s Wednesday.
They have recently released their latest (and possibly last) EP, Periscope At Midnight and it is possibly their best set of songs to date. The six song release is pure doubleVee. The sound is unmistakable. And submarines play a crucial part on the EP and in their discography. We debate whether or not you can do a cover of one of your own songs. They also reveal a few opportunities that didn’t work out. Go grab the album, buy it, stream it, get the limited run CD at doublevee.net! Follow them @doublevee_band. Follow us @PerformanceAnx.
