Show 'Em Where You Live finds the band further exploring the process of reinvention, and introducing new ingredients from the drum 'n bass, and the Zydeco music worlds, while further immersing themselves in their own musical roots. Steve Smith, Tom Coster, Frank Gambale, and Baron Browne are back to show us where the band 'lives today'. "Show 'Em Where You Live" is Vital Information's new recording, and a milestone in the direction of this veteran and hard working band. With their Indie-Award winning album 'Where We Come From' the band had reintroduced themselves to their musical roots. This process found them reinvestigating many different styles of music including New Orleans music, the Blues, Bebop, R&B, Soul Jazz, and Free Jazz. Meanwhile the concept of reinvention has taken on a complete life of its own. "Show 'Em Where You Live" finds the band further exploring the process of reinvention, and introducing new ingredients from the drum 'n bass, and the Zydeco music worlds, while further immersing themselves in their own musical roots. Many of the compositions on the new record were written with specific influences in mind. 'Soul Principle' draws inspiration from the Herbie Hancock Headhunter band. Tom Coster's 'Shagadelic Boogaloo' is a direct descendant of Booker T & the MG's, and 'The Blackhawk' conjures up the feeling of Lee Morgan at the classic San Francisco nightclub of the same name. 'Awaken The Hoodoo' is a nod to the Tony Williams Lifetime, and the jazz classic 'Gingerbread Boy' is played with the same elasticity that Miles Davis' band performed it in the 60's. Through reinventing themselves, Vital Information have formulated an eclectic and exciting new brand of music. "Show 'Em Where You Live" will substantiate the importance and the eloquence of their music.
