Van Gogh biography of any of the band is similar to that of the world - best friends decide to camp one day to set up a rock band. Acclimated to a garage, someone do not have money to buy a decent tune, but there is optimism in each of the hope that "once we arrive in time."

Although "confined" to wheelchairs, Van Gogh proves that doesn't mean they can't soar. With Ricky writing the lyrics, Robby composing the music, and both brothers singing lead and harmony vocals, Van Gogh has put together a body of work that is a striking testament to the triumph of creative passion over industry bigotry. Here's a short version of their story so far.... Van Gogh started out as a studio project in 1991 - and in 1992 they released their first album, The Final Scene. By 1993, they had evolved from a studio project into a celebrated live act. In 1994, they serendipitously acquired the hats and granny-glasses that quckly became their visual trademark. In 1995 they released their second album, Bubble. By the late '90s, Van Gogh was traveling 50,000 miles a year touring. In 1997, they released their third album, Three. In 1998, international superstar Prince gave them an unreleased song (entitled "Van Gogh") to record, and they included their version of it on their forth album, Van Gogh, that same year. Three years of touring and special appearances would pass before the release of their fifth album, Gavity. (In addition to their own releases, Van Gogh appeared on several anthology and tribute CDs -- including tributes to Paul McCartney and Klaatu, as well as a powerpop compilation in Spain). Each of Van Gogh's albums has its own unique sound. Never interested in making the same sounding music over and over, Van Gogh takes full advantage of other band members multi-instrumental talents, utilizing a variety of instruments (such as flute, sitar, mandolin, banjo) in addition to guitars, bass, drums, and keyboards. Van Gogh's style defies easy catagorization – elements of classic pop and rock are combined with more modern influences to create what can only be described as "Van Gogh music". They are excited to make their music available for the world to hear on Last.fm radio, and truly hope you enjoy what you hear. Thank you for reading and listening. www.vangoghmusic.com
