Early 2006 finds the VDPJ hunkering down in our cozy home studio, working hard on a wonderfully convoluted multi-layered recording project. We're finishing up mixing and mastering the first 3-song installment of our 4 part CD-single masterpiece. A limited edition special pressing will be available at shows and over the internet this spring. Check the News section for updates.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to come down and play with us over the last couple of months.


Upcoming Shows:

House of Shields Sept. 9th 9pm $5
w/ Deluxe (Sacramento),

Please see our shows section for more details.
Formed in the summer of 2004, VanDyke Pajama
augments its traditional four-piece guitar-bass-
drums-vox arrangements with keyboard runs, trumpet wails, and glockenspiel accents. Too lighthearted to be indie rock, too rocking to be chamber pop, VanDyke Pajama seeks to elevate the 3-minute pop song into a new form of musical storytelling, spiced with a smattering of indie folk, noir jazz, and the occasional sea chantey.

VanDyke Pajama is:
brad robertson (bass)
dana goldberg (vocals)
rob duncan (guitar)
brad reitz (drums)
