Thee Vicars are like some mutant time capsule freaks: four never-aging lads who look Beatles but sound Sonics. With some Kinks thrown in too. Okay, maybe a little Merseybeat leering going on there as well. Basically, they dress tight, play tighter, and sing like their nuts are on fire. Last year’s Barfly gig was a hectic treat; in Gwdihw’s front room-sized playspace Thee Vicars will make the windows smoke. Get close.
Vertigo Launch Party featuring Thee Vicars + Houdini Dax | Fri 4th | 8pm | £3
Prepare yourselves for a night of lairy garage beats and 60s tinged pop-rock as the Vertigo Launch party gatecrashes Gwdihw. Featuring music from Thee Vicars and Houdini Dax with the Black Hand Laser Band DJs on hand to liven things up at the end of the night your Friday night just got a bit more interesting.
Thee Vicars may dress like respectable gentlemen but are capable of summoning enough live energy to power the Caribbean. Their recent album Psychotic Beat saw NME claim that they were ‘approaching a revelation’ giving it 8/10 in the process. MOJO and The Guardian have also acknowledged their tight but lairy garage beats. And as an extra-special treat we have the euphoric, good-time, 60s-tinged pop-rock, psychedelic garage rock band Houdini Dax supporting. Aces!
