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 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".

"Since Pflugerville" addresses coming-of-age subjects such as change and lives in flux, set to a backdrop of twangy, almost-country-twinged rock and pop-ish tunes. A classicist album in most senses, one could put this on their playlist while contemplating existence, taking a long walk in the rain - or sipping a cup of joe.
