The Vodkanauts

About Booking This Artist
Imagine a twilight world of sonic make believe where Dean Martin and James Brown share equal billing with Danny Gatton and Hank Marvin, where reverb-drenched surf freakouts segue into a small jazzy combo playing a Vegas nightspot frequented by The In Crowd and where roadhouse-rockin' twangfests coexist with tranquil atmospheric meditations. It is in this musical parallel universe that surf/lounge/rhythm 'n' blues/rock 'n' roll combo The Vodkanauts work their magic, simultaneously paying respectful tribute to musical masters while creating a soundtrack to a mid-to-late 20th century America that never quite was ... but should have been. Since forming in September of 2002, the band has performed numerous well-attended club dates as well as sharing bills with national acts the likes of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, The Mermen and the King of Surf Guitar himself, Dick Dale.
