What The Vek
The disc, chock full of what Vek describes as “electro-geek rock,” was released October 25 and the British singer/songwriter is wasting no time getting out there to support it. He’ll be backed by his band, comprising James Price (guitar), Rich Harrison (bass) and Danny Nichols (drums).
The band generated a good deal of hype with packed shows in New York City, Philadelphia and Los Angeles earlier this year, and now the four-piece is aiming to take the whole country.
Tom Vek’s fall dates run from November 4-23, beginning at New York City’s Knitting Factory and hitting 14 major cities in the U.S. and Canada. The tour wraps in California at West Hollywood’s Troubadour.
The 24-year-old Vek is a multi-instrumentalist who honed his chops crafting songs by himself in his dad’s garage. He hooked up with producer Tom Rixton in a variety of studios throughout Ireland and the U.K. and completed We Have Sound earlier this year.
