All upcoming shows are listed below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blending reverb-soaked shoegaze with minimalist electronic production, The KVB&#8217;s music reflected\u00a0Nicholas Wood\u00a0and\u00a0Kat Day&#8217;s mastery of atmosphere even as their sound evolved over the course of the 2010s. Early releases such as 2012&#8217;s debut album,\u00a0&#8216;Always Then,&#8217; dealt in brittle beats and sonic blasts that evoked\u00a0Cabaret Voltaire\u00a0and\u00a0the Jesus and Mary Chain\u00a0in equal measure, but the duo&#8217;s style became more streamlined and sharp-edged on later efforts such as 2018&#8217;s\u00a0&#8216;Only Now Forever&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formed in 2010 by singer\/songwriter\/multi-instrumentalist\u00a0Nicholas Wood\u00a0as a solo project,\u00a0The KVB\u00a0got started with a number of limited cassettes and vinyl releases that included the single <em>The Black Sun<\/em> via FLA Records and the\u00a0&#8216;Into the Night&#8217;\u00a0EP via Downwards Records.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vocalist\/keyboardist\/visual artist\u00a0Kat Day\u00a0joined\u00a0Wood\u00a0in 2011, and\u00a0The KVB\u00a0released its debut album,\u00a0Always Then, in 2012 on Clan Destine Records. The duo kicked off a busy 2013 with the release of its second full-length,\u00a0&#8216;Immaterial Visions,&#8217; for the Minimal Wave imprint Cititrax that February, then followed it with a remix EP featuring contributions by\u00a0Regis\u00a0and\u00a0Silent Servant\u00a0that May; in November, a reissue of 2011&#8217;s previously limited-edition cassette release\u00a0&#8216;Minus One&#8217;\u00a0arrived via\u00a0Brian Jonestown Massacre mastermind\u00a0Anton Newcombe&#8217;s A Records label.<strong><br><\/strong><br>The following year, the duo ventured to Newcombe&#8217;s Berlin studio to track what would become the\u00a0&#8216;Out of Body&#8217;\u00a0EP, which A Records released later that year. This session marked the KVB&#8217;s first recordings made outside of the duo&#8217;s own home studio as well as the first time working with\u00a0drummer Joe Dilworth, known for his work with Stereolab and Cavern of Anti-Matter. Wood and Day collected some of the more experimental output they recorded in 2014 on &#8216;Mirror Being,&#8217; which Invada released the following June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duo continued to move in a more experimental, heavily electronic direction on 2016&#8217;s\u00a0&#8216;Of Desire,&#8217;\u00a0which\u00a0The KVB\u00a0recorded with vintage synths from Invada head\u00a0Geoff Barrow&#8217;s collection. The\u00a0&#8216;Fixation\/White Walls&#8217;\u00a0EP followed in 2017, and that year the duo also issued a remastered, five-year anniversary edition of\u00a0&#8216;Always Then&#8217;. For 2018&#8217;s\u00a0&#8216;Only Now Forever,&#8217;\u00a0Day\u00a0and\u00a0Wood\u00a0took a freer, more independent approach, recording on their own in their Berlin apartment for the better part of a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1220\" height=\"1828\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2c05129a14e9f22f27c497ad_1220x1828.jpeg?fit=640%2C960\" alt=\"The KVB tour poster\" class=\"wp-image-32241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2c05129a14e9f22f27c497ad_1220x1828.jpeg?w=1220 1220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2c05129a14e9f22f27c497ad_1220x1828.jpeg?resize=200%2C300 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2c05129a14e9f22f27c497ad_1220x1828.jpeg?resize=768%2C1151 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2c05129a14e9f22f27c497ad_1220x1828.jpeg?resize=683%2C1024 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The KVB North American tour dates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.11\u00a0 &#8211; San Diego, CA @ The Whistle Stop\u00a0<br>10.12 &#8211; Lake Perris, CA @ Desert Daze<br>10.14 &#8211; San Franisco, CA @ Rickshaw Stop<br>10.16 &#8211; Seattle, WA @ Sunset Tavern<br>10.17 &#8211; Vancouver, BC @ The Clubhouse<br>10.18 &#8211; Portland, OR @ Star Theater\u00a0<br>10.19 &#8211; Boise, ID @ The Olympic\u00a0<br>10.20 &#8211; Salt Lake City, UT @ The Urban Lounge<br>10.22 &#8211; Denver, CO @ Larmier Lounge\u00a0<br>10.24 &#8211; Minneapolis, MN @ 7th Street Entry\u00a0<br>10.25 &#8211; Milwaukee, WI @\u00a0Cactus Club<br>10.26 &#8211; Chicago, IL @ Empty Bottle<br>10.27 &#8211; Cleaveland, OH @ Mahalls<br>10.29 &#8211; Toronto, ON\u00a0@ The Garrison\u00a0<br>10.30 &#8211; Montreal, QC @ Bar le Ritz<br>10.31 &#8211; Boston, MA @ Great Scott\u00a0<br>11.01 &#8211; Brooklyn, NY @ Baby&#8217;s All Right\u00a0<br>11.02 &#8211; Philadelphia, PA @ Kung Fu Necktie<br>11.03 &#8211; Baltimore, MD @ Metro Gallery<br>11.05 &#8211; Atlanta, GA @ The EARL<br>11.06 &#8211; New Orleans, LA\u00a0 @ Gasa Gasa\u00a0<br>11.08 &#8211; Dallas, TX @ Club Dada\u00a0<br>11.09 &#8211; Houston, TX @ White Oak Music Hall\u00a0<br>11.10 &#8211; Austin, TX @ Levitation\u00a0<br>11.12 &#8211; Phoenix, AZ @ Valley Bar<br>11.13 &#8211; Santa Ana, CA @ The Constellation Room\u00a0<br>11.14 &#8211; Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The KVB have shared Submersion, the title track, from their new EP.\u00a0The band said that the song is &#8220;a melancholic, romantic and uplifting ode to <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=32239\" title=\"The KVB share new single &#8216;Submersion&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31982,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"On Culture Addicts: The KVB share new single 'Submersion'","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[23,25,28,30,5812],"tags":[8407,8032,1245],"class_list":["post-32239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-new-release","category-shoegaze","tag-submersion-ep","tag-the-kvb","tag-tour-dates"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/252D3346-5018-43E0-AB9D-C6FCE3101CE2-e1568118494750.jpeg?fit=800%2C486","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-8nZ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":31981,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=31981","url_meta":{"origin":32239,"position":0},"title":"The KVB announce Fall North American tour dates","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"September 6, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"The KVB have announced a fall North American tour.
