The Vogues

Well dressed rock'n roll

About Me

THE VOGUES play just pure pop rock and roll. (Pics by Philippe Lemursiaux)


The sound of The Vogues resonates with influences including the Beatles, The Stones, Kinks, Stone Roses, Blur, Oasis, Suede, The Strokes and the Libertines.Yet their songs and image are far from retrospective; mixing soul bass lines, 6O’s garage riffs and a pinch of baggy and glam-rock attitude with contemporary elements.Following the great rock’n’’roll tradition, The Vogues line up consists of two electric guitars, bass and drums, lead and backing vocals with occasional sleazy harmonica.A bit "cliché"? Yeah!Definitely!After a few gigs in Belgium (opening for DIRTY PRETTY THINGS, HOT CLUB DE PARIS, ...) and a mini tour in Paris and Amsterdam, they'll release their 1st ep in 2007.

Influences: The Vogues: Volgens de mensen die het kunnen weten is dit een van de heetste nieuwe dingen die onze zuiderburen de wereld te bieden heeft op dit moment. (T-Shu.com)THE VOGUES- Belgian band doing a Gallic hued indie pop. From Brussels, looking to get a fan base in London. Actually, they are tres bien at this lo-fi indie rock! Can definitely hear some Strokes and Arctic Monkeys nuances in the vocals. (Bugbear booking agency-London)
Sounds Like: Well dressed rock'n roll "I'll wrap things up with a little continental flair, in the form of these lovelies from Brussels. The Vogues love their British bands, and definitely wouldn't sound out of place played alongside 70s era Kinks or the Stone Roses. The Vogues fit into the retro Brit rock genre rather nicely with "A Toy for A Boy" (and, well, all their other songs). The "ooh ooh's" in the chorus ices the proverbial cake." (Lose Record.com)
