"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 song Dance Originality is delicious. Great intersection of classic beat, silvery vocals, and surprise Latin flavor at the break. Truly an original."  Disco Lives! by MorticiaJane iTunes Customer Reviews

"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

"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." the-monitor.com "Best Music Videos of October 2015"

"Silly disco-style big band fun. Play if you want to shake your tail feather."  DJ Postnatal  KZSU Stanford University, California

"In Your Dancing Dreams" is fun and FUNKY..."Aurora"" has a really sweet, dreamy vibe; it'll make ya feel good."
André Pettman  KAMP Arizona

Spinning Soul Shiny Day, In Your Dancing Dreams and I Can Feel It - Soul Connection and DJ Brettalicious, KAOS Olympia, Washington

"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 for the Rolling Disco Balls magazine   https://rollingdiscoballs.wordpress.com/

"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
