Lars Vegas is impressive and gained a lot of attention, e.g. some of the songs were used on the soundtrack of the Miramay film “Next Stop Wonderland“ and as background music in several MTV programs. "Take a cool blend of jazz, bossa nova, funk and beatnik swing, add the Jack Kerouc-style phrasing of frontman Tom Stenquist and you have Boston-based Lars Vegas, the perfect picture of 90’s lounge-rock."--Chicago Sun Times. "This is music for black-night-of-the-soul cocktail parties. The instrumental sextet behind Stenquist swerves expertly from no-wave dissonance to sublime lounge jazz at the drop of a pineapple garnish."--L.A. Weekly.
