Van She released one of 2008’s more thrilling debut record trips in the shape of V. A collection of spacey, proggy dance sonics with it’s foot firmly planted in the pop world, V delivered on the promise Van She have been showing since their inception to be one of Australia’s more adventurous new wave of acts. On June 12 Van She will release Ze Vemixes, that same record, but not as we know it, and to celebrate Van She will be out on the road in June and July bringing that revamped record to the stage.
The Ze Vemixes tour will start on June 19 at The Prince in Melbourne and from there head to The Metro in Sydney, Fowlers Live in Adelaide, The Capitol in Perth and The HiFi in Brisbane. Full run of dates are below for the tour, which will see Van She re-imagine the songs from the record in a technologically slamming fashion.
Ze Vemixes is that record sent through a shredder, with the pieces reassembled and fed through a bank of effects and filters, most notably that effect known as “techno this, bitch!” Ze Vemixes features album tracks, a live favourite, and one completely new track as a completely invigorated set of slamming modern techno, a selection of Van She hits given the famous Van She Tech pummelling into the kind of jacking disco that everyone wants to be at and no one wants to leave.
Ze Vemixes will be released digitally and as an additional disc with the V album on June 12.
