As the former, they released two albums, “Mr. Night” and “Nevada” (both critically acclaimed) and received respectable airplay on stations such as KLOS and KROQ in Los Angeles, during which time they found themselves opening for acts such as America, Cracker and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. And with only an acoustic guitar in tow, being Zelig allowed the eager-to-play Wurschum/Hoffman duo to perform “practically daily” and “just about anywhere,” recalls songwriter/guitarist Brian Wurschum. Once in New York, Wurschum and Hoffman began calling themselves The Voyces. They soon formed a band and eventually released “The Angels of Fun” (2003), a mostly folk-oriented effort co-produced by Diego Garrido (The Simpsons, The Squid and the Whale). That same year, The Voyces would receive their first bit of international exposure when one of their songs, “Relate To Me,” was included in Jack Johnson’s “Thicker Than Water” film and soundtrack.
Two songs recently found their way into another feature film, National Lampoon’s Adam & Eve (2006).
A brand new album on Planting Seeds Records is due out in early 2007.
