After winning MTVu's "The Freshmen" music video competition on November 20th, "Dance Originality" will air regularly for six weeks. Having raised $12,000 with the success of its Kickstarter campaign and album-release party, VO5 promises more videos to come in the near future, including one for the new single "I Can Feel It."

Radio stations around the country have been playing songs from the album over the last few weeks. Eric Cullen of the State Times writes, "the nine fresh songs and EDM-laced remix draw from a well rounded group of influences, including jazz, Latin, and funk, in addition to their disco home ground."

Bio

VO5 celebrates its 10th Anniversary this year. The nine-piece band is known for its theatrical sensibility, outrageous costumes, charitable fundraisers and epic-length dance parties. They play a blend of 70s funk and disco covers with their quirky and catchy originals.
Kelly Maxwell sums up the band's philosophy as:


"Dance, dance, dance! There is
such a sense of euphoric
togetherness that can happen on a
crowded dance floor. Dancing and
surrendering yourself to the
music can provide a clarity and
energy that's hard to find
elsewhere in daily life "
Catherine Capellaro states:


"V05 represents the hopes and
aspirations of all Americans.
We believe that dancing
should be an essential part
of everyone's revolution. We
believe in peace and justice
and the American way,
especially if it involves
platform heels and lots of
glitter"
Andrew Rohn describes V05's style as:


"Disco is the perfect anti-cool
music that's actually cool. We
embrace the cheesiness, the
flamboyance, and the happy energy
of disco. These songs are
masterpieces of pop arrangement -
the vocal harmonies, the string
and horn riffs, the classic bass
lines. Disco also represents a
melding of black and white
culture, gay and straight - it's
'coming together' music."


John Feith says the band:


"simply aims to make
people dance."


Eric Cullen writes in the State Times that:


"V05 borrows from their idols freely
-a bass line here, chord
progression there -to make an album
that, compositionally speaking,
fully belongs in the present day
music environment."
