Virgil And The Accelerators.Are whipping up quite a storm in the blues rock scene. Jaw dropping live performances from this unbelievable young trio.
Mesmerizing lead guitar by 18 year old prodigy Virgil McMahon but is its the amazing rhythm section that really add to the bands impact. Brother Gabriel on drums, incredibly just 16 years old yet his abilities are way beyond his tender years. Tom Sansbury bring in his superb jazz influenced bass ability, remenicant of a young Jack Bruce. The combination of talent gives an inspiring experience. Live headlines and support roles always ensure standing ovations and encores. At times moments of genius can be seen, the band have the ability to get inside a song and turn it inside out, drawing on many influences. You will see any number of bands perform Voodoo Chile but their version is religious experience, drawing on a variety if influences and giving a surprising finale b y morphing into a wild version of Miserlou. Solid self penned material is starting to surface and looks very promising. The EP 'And So It Begins' contains 3 originals and 3 covers and is selling very well indeed. Do not miss any opportunity to witness this band while they are up close and personal, they are sure to make the big time. www.vataband.com |

"Just Amazing - This is an Outstanding Band" Carvin Jones, Robin 2 "then came the stellar moment of the evening with a complete rework of 'Voodoo Chile'. You might catch any number of bands reworking this nugget, but the Virgil's trio made it something altogether different. And here in a nutshell is their unique selling point." Pete Feenstra, Get ready To Rock "You have got a BIG sound there. No - you have got a HUGE sound there!" Kim Wilson The Fabulous Thunderbirds |
