ARTIST REVIEWS
trioVD, The Vortex, London, 26/02/2010
"There’s a box-freshness about trioVD, and a vitality to their playing that distinguishes them from their often self-consciously iconoclastic predecessors."
Fill It Up With Ghosts
"triovd are a well-knit unit who have already created a distinctively multifaceted and hard-wired music that, particularly in live performance, carries a real charge."
