Vipertime featuring Troy Osmond (Moron Butler)
“That was Vipertime. I wouldn’t mind hanging out somewhere where that was going on. I guess I’d have to go to Leeds” – Iggy Pop
“Dance floor ready” – Jamie Cullum
“They have that deep, angry sound that you find in Gato Barbieri and Steve Grossman” – Colin Curtis
Born in the snake pit of Leeds house parties, aggro-jazz four-piece Vipertime have earned a ferocious reputation at venues and festivals across the UK, honing their craft while pushing their line up of saxophone, bass and twin drum sets to its sonic limits. Their excursions to the borders of modal jazz, post-punk, dub and afrobeat have built a sound that is simultaneously unique to the band and a microcosm of the thriving UK scene.
Beginning as a free-improvising group in 2018, Vipertime swiftly began writing and moved into the studio to create 2019’s Shakedown, 2020’s Limbs/All Our Heroes Are Dead and 2023’s critically acclaimed Arise. This album received airplay on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3, BBC Introducing and Worldwide FM, was championed by Iggy Pop, Gilles Peterson and Colin Curtis, and was placed in Louder Than War’s ‘Albums of 2023’ list.
New album Vipertime & Moron Butler sees the band in collaboration with Kentish post-punk band Moron Butler. Jazz is dialled down in favour of the acerbic attack of Gang Of Four, distorted punk-dub of The Pop Group and the motoric drive of Can. The voice and lyrics of Troy Osmond come to the forefront, his incantations interspersed with saxophone abstractions and fuelled by hard edged bass and drums.
This performance sees Vipertime joined by Moron Butler vocalist/lyricist/spoken-word artist Troy Osmond to perform material from their new album as well as the band’s back catalogue.
