Vița de Vie is a rock band from Romania founded in 1996 by some former members of the disbanded group Asterisc. Their music is an alternative rock, blended with occasional rap, hardcore, jazz and even reggae influences. Their first studio album, Rahova, was released in 1997, but it wasn't really until their sophomore release, Fenomental in 1999, that they were introduced to a wider audience. Fenomental was a revolutionary release, containing some of the group's most popular songs to date (including Basul și cu toba mare and Vinolamine) and complete with a very original package. The year 2001 brings along the band's third release, Exxtra, which features several contributions of other Romanian artists, including the rap group Paraziții and the electronical music band Șuie Paparude. An LP was released in 2002 and is called "Doi". This album was extensively promoted, three videos were made, including the one for Varză which was shot in Amsterdam. Vița de Vie released a best-of compilation, 9704, in 2004 - including the band's most succesful songs to date plus one brand-new track: Îmi pasă.
Egon was launched on May 17th, 2007.
The latest album is called Fetish and it was released on March 18th, 2010.
