The band have only been going for a couple of years but “The Vu” have carving out a niche with their blend of pop sensibilities, a passion for electronics and funk groove which provides “a modern take on some retro ideas”. 

Support slots with the likes of Shalamar, Alabama 3 and KOLARS have expanded their notoriety, and EP In The Night made it debut on October 20.
