Veto

New single and London show!

Danish 5 piece VETO is excited to announce a UK show as part of their forthcoming European tour. This will be the first UK show since their appearance at Dot to Dot festival earlier this year, and is taking place in London at XOYO on Thursday November 17th. Tickets for this show go on sale at 9am on Friday August 12th.

The XOYO gig will be preceded by the release of the single This Is Not, which is taken from VETO’s current album Everything Is Amplified. Troels Abrahamsen (Vocals & lyricist) explains the song as thus: ‘This Is Not is a lullaby that tries to conjure up a… level-headedness. The message we are trying to pass on is that if we rush too much, we lose ourselves.’

Before VETO there was nothing. At least not on the wide electronic stage in Denmark. It is VETO who have tamed the machines and opened up the once very solitary corner of this particular musical niche. Without letting go of their strong sense of self, they have gained artistic recognition, been commercially blessed, played sold-out concerts at home and abroad, and won numerous awards. As Troels states; ‘Everything doesn’t have to be immediate. Art has to work as research. You’re building on top of what has come before, and things take time. Ask yourselves: Do you play music to promote yourselves, or to perfect an expression?’

Tracklisting: 1. This Is Not (Album Version) / 2. This Is Not (Radio Edit) / 3. Blackout (Kenton Slash Demon Remix) / 4. Built To Fail (Tomboy Remix) – digital single
