THE VELDT ANNOUNCE EAST COAST TOUR + VIDEO FOR UNRELEASED "JOI"

U.S. shoegaze legends THE VELDT announce their East Coast tour with RINGO DEATHSTARR in support of their ‘Illuminated 1989’ album, released via Portland’s Little Cloud Records and North Carolina’s 5BC Records. They also share a live video for the yet-unreleased song ‘Joi’, along with the album focus track ‘Willow Tree’.

Formed in North Carolina in the 1980s, The Veldt’s heady and sensual blend of shoegaze and progressive soul, dreamy soundscapes and infectious grooves makes them stand out among the world’s most notable first-wave shoegaze bands. The band’s core is Daniel Chavis (vocals, guitar), Danny Chavis (guitar) and Hayato Nakao (bass, programming).

The band recently shared their full live session at Seattle’s KEXP, a high point in their long journey since their early start performing in churches and southern juke-joints. Formed in the late 80’s in Raleigh amongst the legendary North Carolina music scene of the time, The Veldt initially signed with two major label, leading to tours across the U.S. and Europe with the likes of Throwing Muses, Pixies, Cocteau Twins and Jesus & Mary Chain.
