From Tom Vek's website:

23 year old Londoner Tom Vek is a multi-instrumentalist, an incisive lyricist, a musician at home with equally raw, but wildly differing aesthetics. The songs buzz with a raw garage rock energy, driven a long by subtle electronic touches and a backbone of rigid, angular funk.

Tom's debut album (due out in 2005) reflects spending years recording with limited equipment in a london garage, completed with Tom Rixton on production duties.

Tom has gathered a band around him to take to the stage. The live performances provide energetic portrayals of the recorded music.
