about

Live onstage in a secluded woodland. Sweating in front of a pulsating crowd as the summer sun sets beyond the trees. A snapshot of Vipertime in their natural habitat. ...

Vipertime’s Live At Smugglers Festival EP bares the ferocity, abandon and razor sharp senses of the band’s live performance. Their line-up of saxophone, bass and two drum kits is pushed further than before, moving swiftly from voodoo fury to tender introspection, the audience at their heels with every move.
Vipertime’s first live release is a moment of nostalgia and an eye to the horizon. A snapshot of the past and a glance of what the band has become and what it will be. 

A message from the band:
Like so many artists in these strange, unpredictable times our plans for 2020 have been taken out of our control. Touring, recording and most other activity have been made impossible. While we hunker down, reschedule, write, plan and try to recover here’s an offering from happier times.
At the end of the summer of 2019 we made the pilgrimage to a patch of woodland in Kent where we played one of our favourite gigs of the year at one of our favourite festivals in the world. We’ve released some of it on Bandcamp to remember this happy, sweaty, noisy summer. All proceeds are going to the charity Solidaritech.

Thanks to all of you and to Smugglers Festival

about

Vipertime Leeds, UK

Born out of the snake pit of LS6 house parties, Vipertime draw from the depths of spiritual jazz and post punk to create improvised music for the dance floor, combining the mesmeric forms and harmonies of 70s Addis with the ferocity of 60s Detroit.
