No offence to all of the other brilliant acts we've booked this year, but these Hollywood based soulful rockers are THE must-see band of Intro 2011. We saw them on Later With Jools Holland at the end of April and knew instantly that we had to book them. Their performance on the aforementioned TV program was so incendiary that the band became the 6thmost popular trend on Twitter world-wide the day after the show aired! There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to do them justice but the likes of "explosive", "breathtaking" and "jaw-dropping" will have to suffice. Managed by the team behind Bon Jovi, Kiss and Motley Crue, VT come to us fresh from a tour with legendary Queen guitarist Brian May – how about that for rock pedigree!?
