Soul and shoegaze. It’s an unlikely combination, but North Carolina band The Veldt has been making it work, and successfully, since 1986. Composed of brothers Danny and Daniel Chavis, The Veldt fuses music influenced by bands like Cocteau Twins and The Jesus and Mary Chain with soul and classic hip hop. The result is a noise-soaked discography full of deep, echoing drum breaks, wailing sax and melodic vocals. Local band Nu11 and Brooklyn shoegaze band Dead Leaf Echo will open.
