about

Why would two almost entirely unknown musicians write and record two albums worth of material over the course of four years? The answer is simple: purely for the love of doing it. Starting in the confines of the Northeast (Milford, CT and Manchester, NH), Dave Novak and Ralph Thompson ended up deep in the heart of Texas (San Antonio and Dallas, respectively) by the time the albums had wrapped up.

After releasing two albums (a self-titled 2001 CD, and 2003's CD "This is Vitamin Tramp"), initial recording for the next album started in 2004. In 2006, they holed up in a rented garage studio in Pflugerville, TX, and embarked on a marathon self-recording session - tackling twenty-five songs in just two days. Afterwards, they realized that one album simply would not be enough to contain the stylistic range of the new material. As 2008 came to a close, Vitamin Tramp unleashed the culmination of their four-year musical and geographic travels - two albums, entitled "Since Pflugerville" and "Robot Exoskeleton".

Of the two albums, "Robot Exoskeleton" takes more liberties, both sonically and thematically. The band shows a willingness to explore the points at which guitar rock now shares commonalities with modern studio enhancements. Sometimes outright happy, and sometimes downright somber, this album is the soundtrack for a joyride in a crappy, underpowered convertible.

Vitamin Tramp Texas

After playing music together since 1995, Vitamin Tramp was formed in Y2K by Ralph Thompson and Dave Novak as a vehicle for songs that didn't fit their other band (SiMent). This post-pop side project went haywire and Vitamin Tramp has ended up outliving its parent band. ... more

SiMent wrote an album of songs, wherein each song is about an individual that donated to their bassist's memorial fund. The donators did not have a say as to what the songs were about. Vitamin Tramp
