The Veldt are performing for the first time in Toronto since 1990 while opening for the Jesus and Mary Chain,this is a group not to be missed live!
a few words on the brilliant history of this unique band:
Their list of collaborators looks like something straight out of the shoegazer hall of fame. They have worked with producers Ray Shulman (The Sugarcubes, AR Kane, The Sundays), David Sitek (TV on the Radio), and Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins, Violet Indiana).They’ve also worked with Jesus & Mary Chain, Mos Def and Lady Miss Kier of Deee-Lite fame and have shared the stage with the likes of Oasis, Cocteau Twins, The Pixies, Fishbone, and Corrosion Of Conformity, among other notables.
This month, The Veldt released their first new song in 15 years, the appropriately titled ‘Resurrection Hymn’ on the compilation album ‘Square Peg In a Round Hole Vol. 5’.
For their forthcoming EP, The Veldt have already been working with two massive legends – Robin Guthrie and Joe Foster (a.k.a. Slaughter Joe), co-founder of Creation Records – seriously whetting our appetite. Apollo Heights is being featured in The Smiths’ bassist Andy Rourke’s forthcoming documentary ‘The Sounds Of The City’. Having gained recognition under both names, I expect they may still, from time to time, perform under both names in future – only time will tell. In the meantime, we are already looking forward to getting our hands (and especially our ears) on the forthcoming EP from The Veldt in 2014
