RADIO/PRESS/REVIEWER TESTIMONIALS
"It is a rare thing that a band’s heart and soul shines so brightly through all aspects of their creative output. Shamelessly embracing the lighter side of life with a formula that is equal parts disco, dancing and bizarre, V05 have struck gold. Only driving my love for the band even deeper into the endless well that is my heart, the band’s make up proves every bit as eclectic as one might expect from a band obsessed with all night dance parties, funk, disco, barbies, theatricality, and outrageous costumes." Milk Crater, a music blog with a heart
"Hello V05,
You folks are FABULOUS! I'm in love with your new record and wanted you to know that I've been playing it on my radio show out here in Humboldt County, CA. KHUM is the radio station. We're legit but not as legit as you. Thanks for making a super fun record." Larry Trask, Music Director, APD KHUM Radio. Eureka, California"The nine-piece disco band, well known in Wisconsin’s private party scene, has been a hidden gem of the dairy state for over a decade...they’re almost like a real life version of
The Village People, which may be the reason behind their reluctance to play YMCA....Dance Originality is the steak sauce of music; it makes every form of human motion better by pumping it full of positive emotion."
Eric Cullen, The State Times
"Vo5:
Thanx for your partylicious CD! On my Monday morning show Jump Start I paired up
In Your Dancing Dreams with Ray Charles' arrangement of Shout! I have directed
Dance Originality towards our Soul show and our World Beat show. I also like
Soul Shiny Day, Baku, and I Love the Sun. Thanx again!"
Tom
Viele aka RetroTommy, Music Director, WHYS
Eau Claire
"VO5
creates a captivating and infectious mix of 1970s-style disco, funk, soul, salsa, world music, jazz, and electronic dance music elements."
Angel
Romore, World Music Central
"VO5’s retro disco number is brought to life by a couple of genuinely awesome dancers, against a backdrop that feels like it could’ve been lifted from a funky version of Street Fighter."
Kier Wiater Carnihan , the-monitors.com
October's Best Music Videos
"I really, really like it. Not the
few more disco-ey ones so much but I was delighted by the ultra-lounge and Latin
numbers. It's pretty psychoacoustic!" Sybil Augustine, Music Director WORT
Madison currently spinning "I Love the
Sun"
"I have been enjoying it since it's arrival at the 90fm studios. I think some of your cuts will be perfect for the Flash Forward Jam! I'm really digging "Soul Shiny
Day" John Louis
Host of The Jam on 90FM - WWSP Stevens Point Radio

"Is this album FCC clean in its entirety for radio airplay?" Pete
Bruinsma, WYCE Music Director Gran Rapids, Michigan
FAQ: YES! No swear words.
"It is unusual for a band to
stay together for 10 years, and this album shows the musical lessons learned
from performing 70s covers at hundreds of shows. It is rare to see somebody not
dancing at a VO5 show, and this set of songs, both dance–friendly and
enjoyable to listen to sitting in a car, are unique enough to warrant a careful
listen (get a room, make love to these songs!). It is a pleasure to find musical
references, conscious or unconscious, amid disco clichés and very original
sections. The overall feel of the album is that of musical joy and respect for
past artists and musical traditions." — TP

Disco Balls magazine

"V05 is hardly in need
of publicity, particularly in the summer when it draws thousands of fans in
dance mode to all the marquee local festivals." WSJ

Dance Originality Album LYRICS
1) Dance Originality VIDEO ... Dance
Originality Dance Lesson
Let's do it on the dance floor,
Let's do it, while we can
Let's do it on the dance floor
Let's do it while we dance
No need to get a room
We're practically together
Show me your
Dance Originality
Now's the time
For Dance Originality
We couldn't get much closer
Pervasive sense of skin
No need to get a room
Let's make love on the dance floor
Show me your
Dance Originality
Now's the time
For Dance Originality
Let's Groove it
And Shake it Then Scrunch down
To the ground and shout Jump up
now get down
And do it all again
with a Twist
