Their sounddraws from the gospel-soaked soul traditions of Chicago’s past while pushing forwardwith layers of distortion, reverb, and psychedelic texture. “I love psychedelic musicbecause it pulls the audience into the music. You’re not an observer anymore. You’reinside it.”“Hot Pants Boots” has already become a live staple. “When we play it live, peopleimmediately start dancing and cheering. Some of them are even dressing up for it,” theband shares. “We played a private Pride party last weekend, and the crowd showed upin hot pants and boots, knowing we were going to play that song. That’s the dream.”Vinto Van Go formed during the pandemic, when longtime collaborators and friendsused the pause in touring to experiment together in the studio. Each member brings aunique voice to the group. Ann brings theatricality and character to every vocalperformance. Jon, a bassist from Manhattan who studied under jazz legend Ron Carter,guides the groove with precision. Jason anchors the outfit with sharp, intuitivedrumming. Kevin, the band’s keyboardist and recording engineer, blends his Afrobeatexperience into every arrangement. “We all know what to do and when to leave spacefor each other,” the frontman says. “You can hear that clearly in ‘Hot Pants Boots.’”In the Neon Wilderness is the band’s second album, written and recorded entirely in thepast year. Their debut album dropped in April 2024 and helped solidify their status asone of Chicago’s most exciting live acts. With local indie radio and fans alike rallyingbehind them, the group has developed a loyal following that’s spreading beyond the city.“We’ve got a scene here. If you go to a Vinto Van Go show, you’re going to run into atleast 50 people you love seeing. That kind of community is rare.”As they gear up for their album release and upcoming gigs, including a show in NewYork later this month, Vinto Van Go is keeping it simple.Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support</a>.
