VT on This American Life

Vic is featured on This American Life in a story about his collaboration with Hassidic rocker Curly Oxide.

Chaim and Billy both lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, just blocks away from each other, in worlds that almost never collided. Chaim was a Hasidic Jew — he'd never heard pop music or watched MTV. Billy Campion, known as the rocker Vic Thrill, was the star of an underground band.
