Da Vinci's Notebook
From Free net encyclopedia
Da Vinci's Notebook (or simply DVN) is a comedic a cappella singing group. Formed in 1993 in Arlington, Virginia, USA, the band achieved early success in the a cappella community with their appearance at the 1996 Harmony Sweepstakes finals.
They continued to tour, locally and nationally, for the next ten years. Highlights included some of the most prestigious folk venues and festivals on the East Coast, such as Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.
In 2002, interest in the band spiked as they began to get played on the syndicated "Bob and Tom" radio show. Their signature songs include Enormous Penis, Internet Porn, and Title of the Song.
In addition to their albums, DVN has also recorded a track called The Ballad of The Sneak for the Homestar Runner cartoon website.
Professional awards, other than their devoted fans, include two WAMMIES (Washington DC local music awards) for Best A Cappella group.
In 2004, the band went on a Moxy Früvous-like extended hiatus. Two of the members, Paul and Storm, then hit the road as a charming musical duo brilliantly dubbed Paul and Storm.
