VulpesVulpes: Bio
VulpesVulpes
VulpesVulpes is distinguished by their simple melodies laden with an emotional tangle of vocals. Their sound is both classic and sexy, drawing on influences from traditional orchestras to hip-hop and soul. Songs like “So Bad” and "Play On" exude a musical maturity reminiscent of 1960s soul, while other tracks, such as "Playing With Fire" and "Obsession" display lead singer Tanya Lam’s signature vocals intertwining with haunting and classic violin lines provided by Megan Faye.
VulpesVulpes established in the summer of 2008 and have had an explosive entrance into the music scene. The group has been attracting a loyal and growing fan base playing several New York City and Long Island clubs as well as radio shows and showcases in Florida and Pennsylvania. VulpesVulpes has also secured a spot in the final round of Original Sessions National Band Search sponsored by The Deli Magazine and Vincent Van Gogh Vodka.
VulpesVulpes is currently working on their first EP with Kenny Lienhardt of the Bowery Ballroom (New York's finest Soundman). Songs like “Guilty With Pleasure” exhibit the talent and creativity of drummer Josh Bess and the lighthearted tune “Good Company” showcases the skill and flexibility of bassist and electric guitarist Greg Gibaldi. Each individual member of VulpesVulpes brings a high level of professionalism and musical integrity to this well blended group to create a classic, innovative and refreshing sound.
Tanya Lam - Vocalist/Guitar
Lam founded VulpesVulpes in the spring of 2008 and has since played gigs across the country, including shows at the Viper Room and the Derby. She fronts the project as lead singer and multi-instrumentalist and, when she isn’t playing intimate acoustic sets, is backed by talented Greg Giabaldi and Joss Besserman. Lam, a native of Long Island, NY, first began training as a pianist at age four, not picking up a guitar until high school. As she began to combine her love for poetry with her ability to play a variety of instruments, Lam quickly developed the sound that is now heard in her songwriting and recording for VulpesVulpes.
