Tom Vek, the UK-based recording artist who burst on the scene with his now cult classic 2005 debut album We Have Sound also returns to the road to play his extensive catalogue and the recently released new EP, Confirm Yourself, to fans across the country.The tour, his most extensive run of UK shows since the release of the original Luck, starts in Bristol on Oct 2nd and takes in an appearance at Huw Stephens SWN festival in Cardiff on Oct 19th before finishing with a glorious homecoming at Margate's live music mecca Where Else?
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.
Luck, originally released in 2014 on revered independent label Moshi Moshi, contains the masterful single ‘Sherman (Animals In the Jungle)’, epic ‘Broke’ and what is perhaps the inspiration for the album, ‘Pushing Your Luck’.
“Listening to Luck, Vek's followup to Leisure Seizure… there's an exciting sense of urgency. His deranged arrangements are deliciously unpredictable” Jon Dennis, The Guardian, reviewing the album on release in 2014
“Vek’s good at yanking chains. Like a festival randomer that’s had one too many, his sonic severity is marred by a charm offensive that gives these tracks their cheeky art-pop edge.” Adam Bloodworth, Culture Or Trash, 2014
