Quotes -
"Pacey Winchester Rock 'n' Roll" NME
"Confessional Mainstream Rock" NME unsigned
"Thanks for a sterling opening set - Much appreciated!" Iain Martin (Stiff Promotions)
"A big shout-out must go to unsigned band The Vegas from Winchester, who not only had the arduous task of drawing in crowds into the Ben Sherman British Bands unsigned stage when the headliners were playing, but also had to overcome technical difficulties to get through their set." Lewis Brown - West Sussex Gazette
The Vegas formed in the early part of 2007. Since then the four lads, Rich (Vocals/Guitar), Cody (Guitar/Vocals), George Round (Bass/Vocals) and Tom (Drums) have built a reputation around Hampshire, Surrey and London as having a knack for banging out great tunes in a frenetic and fast paced set that includes crowd favourites "Something Over Me" and "Black Cherry" to name but a few.
Having recently signed with a new booking agent, the lads have appeared on local radio several times over the last 12 months, built a good working relationship with promoters in their area and appeared in local magazines and NME magazine and website to much acclaim.
Keep on listening and looking out for the lads at a venue near you, and you won't be disappointed with the outcome :)
