"The duo released the terrific "Stance" earlier this year, and this Hexagon show marks the release of a new 6-song EP, which proves that the highly entertaining debut was no fluke."--The Onion AV Club



"They have chops, and a unique sampling style, too. It's safe to say they're the only ones around dabbling in Spoon licks while simultaneously attempting the Worm. In the audience, on the stage, to each other, on the floor -- you can't take your eyes off them, only because they won't let you."--Sally Franson, The Daily (Madison, WI)



"Their 2007 debut record 'Stance'. was a joyously defiant, resolutely unserious, Technicolor album." --Steve MCPherson, City Pages



"You'd be hard pressed to find a band that seems to be having as much fun as MC/VL." --The Onion AV Club



Review of "Stance" from Pulse Magazine-- "On Stance, the pop culture references come fast and hard: Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Robin Yount? Check. Mary Todd Lincoln. Yup. And how many bands can boast back-to-back tracks that share titles with great works of fiction ("Moby Dick" and "Ulysses")? …therein lies MC/VL's particular kind of genius, one which it shares with the Beasties: an ability to straddle the line between booty-moving and intellectual stimulation. Like Girl Talk's Night Ripper mix from last year, half the pleasure comes from tracing the lineage of the samples (listen for Tegan and Sara) and the other half comes from blasting it out of your car stereo. MC/VL have no illusions about their originality, and that makes all the difference. Immature artists copy, mature artists steal."
