Bio
The Vickers were born in Florence (Italy) in 2007. In January 2008 they have been chosen for playing at the International Pop Overthrow (IPO), traveling music festival, for the Liverpool's Cavern Club stage held in May. Their debut album "Keep Clear" was released 13th February 2009. The album was positively received by the most important national musical revues and international blogs and webzines. From March 2009 the band appeared in national magazines like GQ, and their songs are currently getting airplay on important radios like Radio RAI (Radio Televisione Italiana). Their first single video "The Only One" has been in heavy rotation on MTV and other national networks and it has partecipated in many international film festivals (Chicago Reel Shorts Festival, Queen's International Film Festival). After the debut album the band recorded the acoustic EP "Sofa Sessions", released only for the web in May 2010. In the summer of the same year The Vickers played at the famous italian festival Italia Wave. The band always gave the best on stage in their live perfomances, they played in Italy over 100 shows in two years. They supported many european artists during their young career, John Power (The La's), Joy Formidable (UK), Theoretical Girl (UK), Eight Legs (UK). The band recorded the new LP called "Fine For Now" in autumn, released in February 2011. Eleven songs mixed by Steven Orchard (Paul McCartney, Pulp, U2, Iggy Pop) and mastered by Jon Astley (The Who, Stereophonics, Paul McCartney) that range from the recent british rock and the american independent rock tradition, all collected with consistency and an inspired songwriting. The album was released on July 20, 2011, in Japan, by Flake Records. -
