- VHS or Beta is a band from Louisville, Kentucky, that combines elements of rock, French house and dance-punk. Their self-released debut Le Funk found some success on the charts, but the band became better known in the wake of their 2004 release Night on Fire. In early 2007, after two and half years of touring, the band made the trek to Asheville, NC to record 2007's Bring on the Comets. Released in August 2007 Bring On The Comets marked a slight change in direction towards a more straightforward pop sound; all this was achieved without sacrificing the band's trademark dance sensibility. The band's core members are guitarist/vocalist Craig Pfunder, bassist Mark Palgy, and drummer Mark Guidry. Chea Beckley has supported the band on keyboards on tour since 2000 replacing Jerome Miller (1998-2000). Mike McGill was enlisted to play guitar on tour after Zeke Buck left the band in 2006. Palgy and Pfunder were in the early 90's band Raze with former Elliott and current Wax Fang drummer Kevin Ratterman. In 2005 the band opened for Duran Duran on a leg of their North American tour.
- A VHS or Beta egy Louisville, Kentucky-beli zenekar, amely az indie rock, a francia house és dance-punk műfajok sajátosságait egyesíti zenéjében. Szerzői kiadású első lemezük, a Le Funk felkerült ugyan a slágerlistákra, de a zenekar a 2004-es Night on Fire című albummal vált igazán ismertté. 2007 elején, két és fél évnyi turnézás után a banda félrevonult hogy rögzítse a Bring on the Comets című lemezt. Az augusztusban megjelent korongon először használtak élő dobfelvételeket, de sem ez, sem a kommerszebb zenei megoldások nem jelentették a zenekar eltávolodását a dance-es jellegtől. A banda alap tagjai: Craig Pfunder (ének/gitár), Mark Palgy (basszus), és Mark Guidry (dob). Chea Beckley billentyűsként kíséri a zenekart a koncertjeiken 2000 óta (1998 és 2000 között Jerome Miller látta el ugyanezt a feladatot). Mike McGill szintén az élő felállásban vesz részt mint gitáros, mióta Zeke Buck-ot 2006-ban kirúgták a bandából. 2005-ben a Duran Duran előzenekaraként játszottak az észak-amerikai turnéállomásokon.
