“Das Vibenbass do what all great bands do – they interpret preexisting music genres, mash them together and come up with a sound that’s uniquely THEM. They utilize and incorporate pieces from Avant-Garde Jazz, Krautrock, Electronica, Film Soundtracks as well as war-torn rock and roll. Falling most closely to the “Jazz” branch on the Tree Of Music, they are not a band that has become too proficient with their instruments, thus not suffocating any organic nature to the jams. And the song structuring of the four – tenor saxophone, vibraphone, upright bass, and drums – shows a relaxed and natural approach, making it look all so easy. Plus the live show has morphed in to a wonderful multimedia and wide-appealing presentation. Fans of Can, Tortoise, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Jacob-Fred Jazz Odyssey, The Lounge Lizards, and Slint would all be lovers of Das Vibenbass.” - Scott Giampino, The Triple Door
