Performing since they were children, the Chavis brothers' musical roots lead back to the church and southern juke-joints, and listening to music that included gospel, Motown and Pink Floyd. The Veldt formed in the late 80's in Raleigh amongst the legendary North Carolina music scene of the time, initially signing with Mammoth Records - leading to a chain of major-label relationships (and major-label failures) that took the group across Europe and the U.S. playing shows with the likes of Throwing Muses, Pixies, Cocteau Twins, and Jesus & Mary Chain. The band returned with the The Shocking Fuzz Of Your Electric Fur - The Drake Equation EP, and have been steadily releasing singles and EP's since. With a headlining tour beginning in August, and the release of the new full-length Entropy is the Mainline to God, Veldt is demonstrating that they have no intention of slowing down.
