The circus cabaret of Vermillion Lies (riyl Ditty Bops, Tiny Tim)


Vermillion Lies combines many of my favorite things, including but not limited to: circus songs, flappers, and strippers (or the more pc term – burlesque dancers). I guess it should come as no surprise that this Californian duo has played with the Ditty Bops, Jason Wembly and Camper Van Beethoven, as they all share a love of campy music.

“No Good” has a retro jazz vibe with muted trumpet and equally muted early 1900′s jazz vocals. You can buy the new record, Seperated By Birth, here.

    Very good song! For some reason, the songs you host on your webspace do not agree with my computer so I can only check it at school… but very nice. The vocals remind me a LOT of Squirrel Nut Zippers, which can only be a good thing.

    Thanks for introducing me to the music of Vermillion Lies. I got their CD after your recommendation and just review it myself. Good stuff.
