With their background as a resident band at a local club in their native Denmark, it's no wonder that Vincent Van Go Go is a band whose goal is to "make music with a positive vibe and make people dance." Their music may be cheerful, but their debut album's skillful blend of reggae, pop, funk, and soul, with notes of hip hop, Latin, and jazz music, prove that these five musicians are not be taken lightly.

In 2007 alone Vincent Van Go Go played at Canadian Music Week, New Music West, and SXSW. They were chosen by BBC and Rolling Stone magazine as a highlight of SXSW along artists such as Amy Winehouse and The Fratellis. VVGG also played to audiences all across the US when they toured with reggae band Morgan Heritage and later with Toots and the Maytals.

Vincent Van Go Go originated as five multitasking friends dedicated to live performance; Johannes "Johs" Norrelykke (vocals/guitar), Kristian "Scooter" Kold (bass), Thomas "Terry Tester" Mansson (Scratches/samples), Dennis Ahlgren (keys) and Janus Nevel Ringsted (Drums) played together at a local club and collaborated with some of Denmark's favorite artists. Kristian, Janus, and Dennis toured with Tina Dico, Johannes toured with Tommy Boy's Camille Jones, and Thomas was busy producing hip-hop beats for a wealth of artists such as Detroit's Dwele, LA's Oh No and London's Visioneers.

The band had the defining moment in their career when they took a trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The warmth of the country and its music added a new depth to the band's sound and they were inspired to take their music from the stage to the studio. The band began recording their first album right there in Brazil, a compilation of their best tracks over the past three years and when they finished recording in Denmark they were signed to Murena Records.

Their newly inspired creative exploits did not go unnoticed; back in Denmark, the band began getting the attention of a number of Danish clubs, including the renowned Copenhagen club Mid Week Brake where they started to play regularly. Dedicated to their roles as performers first and foremost, the boys returned to Brazil, this time to perform live in various venues and along Ipanema beach, the perfect home for their summery sound. Their internationally palpable music began to cross borders, and Paris' Radio Nova began giving them heavy airplay, leading to sold-out performances throughout the city.
