Through dream-like and beautiful soundscapes Virak deliver you grandiose yet catchy and unsual melodies that sustain the listener on a haunting tribute to the 70’ psychedelic musical travelogues and the 60’ focus and talent for harmonies and prolonged pop melodies.
Virak was formed in Copenhagen during a cold winter, early 2002 by Martin Ejlertsen (guitars, vocals), Peter Dyring-Olsen (drums) and Christian Kühne (bass). This constellation embarked on a detailed vision for creating music with a tuneful sense and sound that wouldnt feel restraints from any particular genre or stereotypical template. A musical direction, which benefitted the band greatly leading them through several years of, not only vibrant liveshows, a critically acclaimed EP release, but also the very initiations that was the beginning of their debut album entitled "Threads".
After years of dedicated attention, drummer – Peter left virak shortly after the recordings of Threads were completed, in order to spend more time with his growing family. In mid 2007 Peter was replaced by Alf Lenni Erlandsen, a drummer whom over the years have served several musical paths in a wide array of bands.

Ja - men sagen er den, at når det jo er universitetsradioen, så holder den jo også semesterfri henover sommeren. Hvilket betyder ingen programmer før slut-august/start-september igen.
