"This energetic, on-again/off-again foursome formed over a decade ago and came back strong last year with a new lineup. With former and current members of Cincy bands like Clifford Nevernew and Wussy, 7 Speed Vortex claims influence from everyone from Springsteen to Guided By Voices, and their playful sound is highlighted by singer Paris Trigger's ear-grabbing hooks and the band's loose but effective performance approach." -- CityBeat

Take a creative lunch break and energize your Monday with the melodic sounds of indie rock band 7 Speed Vortex.

We interviewed the band to hear more about their creative inspiration and music taste. Here's what they had to say:

What is your biggest challenge?

Making enough noise to be heard above the considerable din of oh-so-many other entertainment options.

Favorite art/artist?

If we have to answer as a group: Andy Warhol

What's in your iPod right now:?

Mountain Battles - The Breeders
Sophomore Slump - Da Muttss
The Bends - Radiohead (cramming for tribute show)
Electric Version - The New Pornographers
Modern Sounds in Country And Western Music - Ray Charles

How do you unwind after a performance?

Same way as before.


Thanks, 7 Speed Vortex for the oh-so-seven-speed snarky answer! Now that you have a sense of their smart-alecky wit, get a sense of their musical talent. Buy a CD today.

44 is the Contemporary Arts Center's new creative arts series at the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art.

Artists of every discipline and genre - poets, musicians, dancers, playwrights, actors, performers, filmmakers - are invited to demonstrate their craft every Monday in the Center's Kaplan Hall Lobby.

44 celebrates all forms of art and all stages of artistic practice. From dramatic readings to rehearsals to full-scale performances, 44 provides a dual experience - to artists seeking new audiences and venues, and to the downtown community seeking creative interaction.
