Vincent and the Van Goghs are a band composed of art dealers who all met on the set of the I said Monet not Mondrian! reality TV programme. “We are an unusual mix of indie rock and swing, with a dash of rap as well”, explained frontman Scissors Coney, art dealer at Jones & Jones. “You might also notice some early medieval influences on some of our records – sometimes an emotion can only be expressed through Gregorian Chant.”
Membership of the group is fluid, but currently includes-
Scissors Coney – vocals and guitar – Head of Sporting Art, Jones & Jones, Cheltenham
Safah Pulle – drums and double bass – Director of Acquisitions, Simpkin Hodges, Bond Street
Armani Suoff – backing vocals, xylophone, triangle and bass guitar – Gallery manager, Ottimo Arte, Milamo
Edward Grunt – tamberine – Owner, The Grunt Gallery,
The title of the first single will be ‘Singing the Phthalocyanine Blues’ with a B side of ‘I like it, Caravaggio, but it’s a bit dark”.
