Daniel and Danny Chavis lifted their band’s name from a Ray Bradbury science fiction story. Their own life stories have also been quite fantastic. After signing to Capitol Records in 1989, The Veldt were soon in the studio with dream-gaze guru Robin Guthrie working on their initial recordings. They played American concert halls with Cocteau Twins and The Jesus and Mary Chain, and recorded ‘Marigolds’ with Lincoln Fong (Moose). Not long after, they would record their classic ‘Afrodisiac’ (1994), produced by Ray Shulman (The Sundays, Bjork, Sugarcubes) and released via Mercury Records.
They have also collaborated with TV On The Radio, Mos Def and Lady Miss Kier (Deee-Lite), and shared the stage with The Pixies, Throwing Muses, Echo & The Bunnymen, Cocteau Twins, Manic Street Preachers, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Oasis, Chuck D, Living Colour and Schooly D.

“With Danny’s enveloping hooks, Daniel’s swooning falsetto… the new songs invite paradoxical praise: serenely assaultive, vertiginously soothing.” — The Guardian
With an effort to embellish the liquid love lines and orange sunshine sonic vibes Burnt Sugar Arkestra, The Veldt and DJ Mr. Realistic will saturate Real Artis Ways in, Southern Bell Soul Food and Bloom Kitchen & Co. food trucks will be onsite to keep your tummy tight and keep you light on your feet.
Folks, please, whatever you do, don’t eat all the cornbread!
