Dogs

This is the lead track from the “Vlks XIV” EP. It’s called ‘Dogs’. It’s a stately waltz. It has a horror string soundtrack. We hope you like it.

Ducks

After the gig at Sebright Arms in September, Vlks have been typically off the radar (if not off the radio). We’re biding our time, keeping the mice out and politely declining a fair few gigs. The Vlks way is generally to keep to things behind the scenes. Developments do occur daily, but the most sensible amongst you won’t want to read them.

Some slight news is the imminent release of something new, possibly before Christmas but more likely in January. The ducks all have to be lined up, you see, and there are a lot of ducks. A waddling of ducks, in fact. Yeah. A waddling of ducks.*

The new release will contain a recording called ‘Good Grief’. It was recorded with Jim Riley a month or so ago.  We played it at Sebright Arms. Everyone screamed. We took that as evidence of Vlksmania rather than cries of horror. It is much more likely to be the latter, and for that reason we’ll probably give it away for free. That’s what you’re supposed to do, right?

We’ll keep you posted as and when things get to the point of needing posting. Until then, the EPs Vlks V and Vlks X are available from pretty much everywhere.

*If Vlks can be good for anything, it’s fodder for pub quizzes. A waddling of ducks is just one of lots of options. I could have used badelynge, bunch, brace, flock, paddling, raft or team. Ducks in their collective nouns are just something else, aren’t they?

Thanks for Sebright Arms…

Thanks to everyone that came to Sebright Arms last night – really happy to see so many people there. If anyone has any photos, please send them to us at vlksband@gmail.com.

Stay tuned for more news on shows and Vlks stuff generally..

Our 2nd EP Vlks X is out now, praised by BBC 6 Music, made Record of the Week on BBC Introducing and generally worth a browse. Right? Right.  You can buy it from iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all kinds of other places I haven’t listed.

Thanks,
DG

Vlksathon: 6 Music, BBC Introducing, Vlks X, Sebright Arms

Finally, the summer is over. The days are shortening and the dark is appearing. Vlks are at their strongest in the dark. You were warned.

But, good news for everyone. Not only is the Vlks X EP out next Monday, but its lead track ‘Clutter‘ is being thrown all over the radio  – BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing are amongst those imbibing on its tales of a messy front room.  BBC Introducing called it Record of the Week, in fact. I imagine they clearly identify with the problems aggressive damp causes to your skirting boards. Dettol doesn’t sort everything, friends. You can have that tip for free.

This also means the countdown to the next London show is ever falling. You can still buy tickets for a night with Vlks on September 26th at Sebright Arms HERE: https://parallellines.ticketabc.com/events/vlks/.

Don’t forget that the 26th September is also our very own George Bacon’s birthday. So bring a cake or something, yeah?

BREAKING NEWS: We are hoping to have T-shirts to sell. You read that right, T-shirt fiends.
