Bring on the Comets, VHS or Beta's third album, came out on Astralwerks on August 28, 2007, and it's the sound of a Louisville dance-rock band coming off two and a half years on the road and deciding to go big. They made it in Asheville, North Carolina, with Craig Pfunder singing and playing guitar, Mark Palgy on bass and Mark Guidry on drums, guitarist Zeke Buck having left the year before.
The house and disco grooves that powered Night on Fire are pushed back in the mix, and in their place come huge, grandiose choruses and a gloss straight out of vintage synth-pop. Critics were split: Metacritic's tally of 12 reviews averaged out at 53, and AllMusic's Jason Lymangrover found the songs neither remarkable nor bad. The band took it on a North American tour that started at Popscene in San Francisco and wound up at Headliners Music Hall in Louisville.
