Combine the Victorious

Combine the Victorious is Mark R. Henning(record producer/member of Guilty About Girls) and Isabelle Dunlop (fashion designer/ member of Sex With Strangers). They have been writing music together since 2005. The first song they finished, Blue Kitchen, became a tv theme song. So far there are two Combine the Victorious releases: their debut album, The World Over, the more anthemic of the two; and the Disagreements EP, written after the euphoria of sanguine creation had subsided.
The initial band consisted of five members, Isabelle and Mark at the centre, with Jesse Smith, Marc Wild and Nick Jones backing them up. With the second EP there was a shift towards drier and simpler production. Disagreements features Todd Simko (former Pure guitarist) and Kevin Jones (drummer of The February March). Lately they have stripped it back to performing as a duo. The "King's Cross" video was recorded completely live in studio, as much to rediscover the song as to document their performance.
As of their eighteenth show, they have now had the pleasure of performing in front of a sold out crowd at the 10th Vancouver Pecha Kucha night, PKN10 - Vogue Theatre, April 8th.
Blurring from an indie rock beginning, Combine the Victorious is currently exploring the boundaries of electronics and traditional song writing. They will be releasing their new single "A Very Fun Life" as part of the first ever Boutique Empire compilation: Rec'10
