Vansire is an American dream pop band from Rochester, Minnesota, consisting of Josh Augustin and Sam Winemiller.
Vansire has performed at ROCKChester and First Avenue, played a live session with Audiotree, and collaborated with artists such as Chester Watson, Jeremiah Jae, and Mick Jenkins.
[1] In the summer of 2015, Winemiller approached Augustin after practice for the school's drumline with an idea to make a band "that sounds like Mac [DeMarco]".
[1] Augustin and Winemiller, initially unsure of what to call their new project, turned to an online random word generator which landed on "vansire",[1] an alternative name for the Marsh mongoose.
[15] On October 16, 2020, Vansire released After Fillmore County, a seven song EP which brought back FLOOR CRY, and featured Philadelphia-based rapper Ivy Sole.
