Voxtrot is one of the bands that went through one of the steepest hype-to-hate trajectory fueled through the manic vehicle that was Pitchfork and other music blogs throughout the OO’s. After a few revered EP releases, Voxtrot’s eventual and highly anticipated full-length was met with ire generally reserved for baby-murderers. I always expected, or, rather took for granted, them weathering such storms and being around no matter whatever spot they happen to be on the ‘critic-coaster’ 미디어파일.
A long Voxtrot career was not meant to be, evidently, as the name of the recent tour “Goodbye Cruel World” indicates. I don’t know what caused the band to break up, but I sure hope it wasn’t due to the whiplash-like backlash that nearly every band of their era experienced – Black Kids anyone?!? Whatever the case, I hope the break-up was amicable and that all involved keep fighting the good fight 이지뷰어.
Above being a great little band, as additional treat, seeing Voxtrot live always involved a zinger of a well-executed cover. This show was absolutely no exception with Voxtrot doing my favorite New Order song and to my continued amazement, doing it justice. Here is Voxtrot doing “Age of Consent” as performed live at their very last show (for now – we hope) ever Download Dragon Ball Genobus.

With all the hype surrounding the break up of New Order and the rise of pseudo-super-group Bad Lieutenant I didn’t really know what to expect from Bernard Sumner’s new band 
The New Order 1988 Demo cassette surfaced online as mp3s but six months or ago someone posted the lossless files on Dime A Dozen 
It took me years to warm up to early New Order 
Voxtrot are playing at The Wiltern LG next month in Los Angeles
