Formed in early 2015 and fronted by songwriter/producer Pete Lambrou, VLMV released their debut mini album via Fierce Panda Records in August 2015, receiving critical acclaim and described by Lauren Laverne (BBC6 Music) as âa beam of light through a dark, coldnightâ, followed shortly after by ReWorkings & Remixes; a digital overhaul of the esteemed debut. In February 2018 VLMV released the follow up Stranded, Not Lost, again on Fierce Panda Records, and subsequently signed to the illustrious Erased Tapes Music Publishing.
Koa Ho
Koa Ho is a Honolulu-born, Dallas-raised, and Brooklyn-based songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. As a sideman, he performs on bass and guitar with a diverse array of artists; in his solo output youâll find him somewhere in between - on the baritone guitar attempting to glue together a diverse sonic collage of jazz and emo and folk and whatever else that someone with an attention deficit disorder might add to a longer multi-hyphenate buzzword list. His most recent project Now That Iâm Older, I Donât Look The Same (2023) explores the diffusion of identity, as marked by the passage of time.
Stuart McCallum
An in-demand guitarist, composer, producer and educator, Stuart McCallum's current projects include the Breath (Real World Records), Solitude - a series of solo acoustic guitar albums (Edition Records) and Music for Imaginary Film - a series of cinematic-inspired albums co-written with Mark Slater.
