We are Meet Me In Vegas, creators of the 'Splash Pop' genre which we brought to the streets back in June 2008. Its a combination of new electro rock and that 80s pop sound we know you secretly love. Splash pop has already been featured in local newspapers as word about the band spreads.
We produce music the old school way, in an attic in the small town of Sutton In Craven, North Yorkshire. Seb and Chris write the music and Josh lays down the beats.
Formed from 4 different bands we have all had previous experience on the stage and behind the scenes, with some members doing session work for well known artists throughout Europe and the USA. Over the past couple of months we have played 3 shows at the Cockpit Leeds (with over 400 tickets sold in the main room) and a sell out headlining show in room 3, which has raised awareness of our music and brought it to an even wider audience. Our self titled debut EP was released in August. Contact us for copies!

Press Reviews
Meet Me In Vegas who are initially three lads in smart ties and shirts thudding effectively through an introduction that gives way to a set of songs voiced by their slightly Jazzy sounding lead singer who joins them. Singer Caroline Carfrae provides the glamour to but the real star of the show is Chris Dabass's bass guitar which pounds a line of vintage New Order matched perfectly with Josh Toulmin suitably Morris-esque drums. These self disciplined elements and the technically impressive noodling of Guitarist Seb Santabarbara promise a direction for this band.

Meet Me In Vegas are a four piece retro rock, pop, disco house band hailing from Skipton. Claiming to have created a new genre - 'Splash Pop' - the band combines styles of rock and retro 80's electro to create their original and ever entertaining sound.
Very new to the scene Meet Me In Vegas can be seen gigging in and around West Yorkshire and Beep! predict that they will become a regular name.
With funky slap bass, riff based guitars and synth, the band are creating a stir on the scene and quickly establishing a following.
Beep! Magazine Review
I managed to catch the end few songs of 'Meet Me In Vegas.' I was blown away by the craft of the songs. Playing live to a sampler and a click really takes some doing. The rhythm section is certainly one of the best I have ever seen. 'I'm falling down' had a lovely bittersweet feel to it.
Review by Claire Wilson
Truly a delight for the ears.
Complete with catchy guitar riffs, strong bass lines, mad synthesizer
effects and a great vocalist to top it off. Meet Me In Vegas will have you up and dancing whether you’re listening to it at home or watching them live.
The band is uniquely their own. So much so that they’ve made
their own genre of music. Splash pop, which the group defines as “a combination of new electro rock and that 80s pop sound we know you secretly love.” There is really no need for secrecy here, if you ask me.
URZU foresees that we’ll be seeing much more of Meet Me In
Vegas in the near future as the popularity of the band increases and the
knowledge of Splash Pop is spread.
This is one group to look out for.

Yo Meet Me In Vegasasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
