TOM VEK + Guests
7:30pm, Thursday 3rd October, Bedford Esquires
We are extremely excited to announce that we have secured a date with the incredible Tom Vek in October! Anyone who came to our weekly ‘Loaded’ club night at The Pad (RIP) will have heard us pumping out CC (You Set The Fire In Me) and Nothing But Green Lights on a weekly basis. Tom’s first album, the cult classic ’ We Have Sound’, was (and still is) one of our favourite albums from a period where indie-rock exploded on the airwaves and the dancefloor; a loosely based driving concept album that was a breath of fresh air and shot in the arm at the time. Tom has rarely toured over the years, so for us to be able to get a date here in Bedford is somewhat of a coup.
Following his recent self-released EP Confirm Yourself, Tom will head out on a 12 date UK tour, his most extensive for ten years. Tickets available from Friday 31st May from his official website – Sign up to Tom’s mailing list to access the pre-sale.
After the avant-garde mix of sounds of Tom’s fourth album New Symbols, the Confirm Yourself EP saw a return to a raw guitar-based live sound. Always fiercely independent, Tom played every instrument, produced and mixed every track. The EP is a collection of self-assured personal mantras, indeed encouraging the listener to “Confirm Yourself” too.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am, Friday 31st May – available from Seetickets and Local outlets of Slide Record Shop and Esquires Bar
