On 5th August United Vibrations graced the stage at jazzrefreshed. Daniel Crosby, who features on Fred Perry’s Subculture Magazine this month
[ http://www.fredperrysubculture.com/subsonic_profile.asp?id=778 ] was there to check it out, and he was more than impressed. His view below.
“The best group I’ve seen in this country since…ever. Unlike so much of the tosh that parades it self as: ground breaking, eclectic, new etc…We finally have a band that isn’t paraded as being good when it’s not, just for some trendy DJ to use them as a stepping stone to elevate their careers.
United Vibrations are genuinely the most important band to come out of the UK since the big rock bands of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s: Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Stones etc… and since the likes of Steve Williamson, Courtney Pine, Jamiroquai of 80’s and 90’s Jazz/funk fame; These are musicians that are regarded as world class, and are unique in the sense that their music, voices and charisma distinguish them from everyone else, especially the hoards of wealthy college musicians who use their money and privileged backgrounds to convince people that they have talent. United Vibrations are a shining light in the depths of a music void, and are an inspiration that will soon reach all the barren areas of British music and bring it back to life”
