Biography
In Santa Cruz, California in 2006, a small group of friends and musicians formed The Vox Jaguars. The Vox Jaguars base themselves on wryly romantic lyrics and lusty dance floor tempos which transport you to the most righteous basement parties of your youth - when we were all spitting our ADD meds into the toilet and sneaking out the kitchen door to get loaded on box-wine, suck face and be awash in music that informed the urgency of our shared adventure. The Vox Jaguars musical DNA bears traces of the epic raunchy-teen rock and roll genes of The Troggs & The Standells passed through the lineages of David Bowie & Marc Bolan, recapitulated by The Verve and Blur and then seeded and sown into the soil of present-day Santa Cruz by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
In October of 2007, the LA band No Age named the Vox Jaguars as one of their “favorite new bands” in their Pitchfork Media feature article. In late March, the band voyaged south to Los Angeles, to record a new set of songs at Sunset Lodge Recordings in Hollywood, California. The new songs were produced by Ariel Rechtshaid of LA rock outfit Foreign Born.
February 10 of 2009 saw them release their debut EP - the self-titled Vox Jaguars - EP.
The band parted ways in August of 2009.
