Biography:
Party Wolfe is a different breed of music. Born and raised in Austin, Texas, A.J. Vincent started Party Wolfe to capture his new look at what electronic music can be. Although Party Wolfe has many elements from EDM and rock music, it is a sound that cannot be found elsewhere. A.J. is currently in the band ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, and he was previously a member of the bands The Bright Light Social Hour (2007-2012) and Scorpion Child (2015-2017). A.J. has won two "Best Keyboardist of Austin" awards at the Austin Music Awards during SXSW, and he has played many big festivals and venues throughout the years. Although A.J. has recorded albums and toured all over the U.S. and Europe with rock bands, Party Wolfe departs from the rock realm, and is fully immersed in the land of EDM/dance music. Party Wolfe is heavily influenced by bands like Justice and Daft Punk, but you can hear other influences in the sound like Com Truise, Yeasayer, Ratatat, and Gotan Project. Party Wolfe is also a part of Twitch.tv as a Twitch Affiliate, and he has been doing weekly live performance, gaming, and music production streams that he produces on his own in Austin, Texas.
Press Quotes:
"...I was intrigued but a little skeptical that one shaggy-haired guy and a keyboard/keytar would be all that good to watch live.
Holy fuck, was I wrong. Live, Vincent is a beast; he gets up on the stage and dives immediately into the funkiest, ’70s-est, sweatiest groove you’ve heard in years, all built around old-school-sounding synths and snapping, disco-ified beats, and despite the seeming ridiculousness of it all — I mean, c’mon, a dude with his shirt halfway open rocking the hell out on a keytar? — he’s got the swagger and skill to pull it off. By the end of his set, I was into it..."
