allegedly.
he was always so much better live. i thought the album was pretty awful. but live it was fantastic.
i bloody love tom vek.
never seen him live. love the album. want to see him live. want another album!!
is he alive 'YET'?
I'm pretty sure he is. Fuck's sake, Randall.
Love his album
Love him live. Apparently he is writing another one. I hope so.
they onlo allow crayons is prison, and no pointy instruments
and Vek can't read music, so exepct a lonnnnnng wait
oh dear, my fingers are glued again
they only allow crayons in prison
that is better
Apparently
he's still writing the second. Did some side projects with the dude form Lightspeed Champion for a bit, but i forget the name! Was a bit of a joke though if i remember correctly.
First album was brilliant
i have
heard that he going to front a pop punk band with deftones style vocals. fact*
*disclaimer: may not be a fact.
I wonder
what happened to him...
I interviewed him for a student union magazine once, came across as quite an interesting and passionate kinda guy, even though his music wasn't entirely my cup of tea.
That was in 2004/5? though...
the album is taking
years and years...another chinese democracy? ;)
I saw a guy at mile end station
last week with a big Tom Vek sticker on his bag. I should have asked him. Maybe he was Tom Vek.
