“To call themselves VERY COOL PEOPLE they got to have good sense of humour or huge self confidence – almost verging on arrogance. After listening to the band you are happily entitle to say they are rightful to call themselves VERY COOL PEOPLE even if they meant it seriously.”
Music magazine “Muzikas saule”
Very Cool People is a jazz-funk, fusion band originated in Riga, Latvia, by guitarist Elvijs Grafcovs. With a backbone in jazz and funk, incorporating influences from rock and hip hop, Very Cool People is creating modern, complicated and listenable music for a wide audience. The band using contemporary tools is trying to put jazz back to dancefloor and make it more accessible to ordinary, nowadays persons.
In the beginning of summer 2009 VCP released a self-titled debut, which had a great feedback from music critics, bouth jazz & mainstream audiences.
Very Cool People also doesn’t raise any objection to new experiments and experience featuring vocals, MC’s or other instrumentalists. They have worked with different artists (vocalists, MCs & instrumentalists) from Latvia, UK, USA & Spain.
The band has a great performing experience which has lead them throught a lot of festivals & clubs around Latvia, Spain, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland & Austria. VCP is an active-giging band in which all the members love & enjoy to perform live shows more than anything. When they are on the stage they “blow the roof off” of the place & charge audience’s batteries with energy that is coming out from the guys when they are in act.
