Bio
Combining the intensity of Radiohead with the subtle soundscapes of Sigur Ros,
Vib Gyor have become purveyors of the finest atmospheric, explosive rock. With shimmering guitars, pounding drums and aching, sweeping vocals, they project a rich, anthemic, yet totally original sound.
Frustrated with everyday life, the Leeds-based band formed in 2004 through the renowned Leeds Music Scene website. Industry recognition and public acclaim followed a breathtaking performance at Manchesters In The City music convention. This year the band has been invited back to headline one of the biggest nights of the event Club Fandango. They have also secured a much-coveted slot on Glastonbury Festivals Unsigned Bands Late n Live stage.
Stateside, interest has escalated after an intriguing piece in Entertainment Weekly. The article sparked mass excitement amongst labels, publishers and radio presenters alike, leading to an interview and acoustic session on San Diego station 91Xs The Big Break, a slot normally reserved for US talent.
On both sides of the Atlantic, comparisons have been made with artists including Jeff Buckley and U2. Counting these musicians as influences alongside The Pixies, Pink Floyd and Flaming Lips, the band consists of Dave Fendick (vocals, acoustic guitar), Zane Keenan (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals), Jonny Mulroy (guitar and effects), Jonny Hooker (drums) and James Heggie (bass guitar). They have produced a catalogue of 20 songs to date, created entirely on Zane Keenans home studio computer system.
With intense live performances and ambitious recordings, Vib Gyor offer the Radiohead generation an essential addition to its CD collection.
