VIR – band of the month: march

Oh I think we’re allowed a little nepotism here. This month’s shining stars are local dream-rockers VIR, featuring our very own sound guy and resident Kiwi, Sam Sloane. VIR specializes in all that is glacial, dark and sweet. Catch them on March 14 with Pfiffin and Mr Vague!
