Cvc

CVC, a six-piece soul-rock band from Wales, plays a concert at Archive in Leeds. Their debut album, Get Real, was nominated for the Welsh Music Prize.

CVC, short for Church Village Collective, is a six-piece band named after their sleepy hometown. Their sound combines guitars and synths with soul-rock and chorus-rich vocals built for group singing. The band list the indie funk of Parcels, the melodic work of Tame Impala and the nu-soul gospel of Thee Sacred Souls among their influences.

Their debut album, Get Real, was nominated for the Welsh Music Prize and received praise from NME, which called it a cracking debut of feelgood, retro-leaning gems. Clash Magazine described the band's live shows as a thing of wonder. Work on a second album has now been completed, and the band have made it the record they had always wanted to make.

The concert takes place at Archive, a concert and performance venue at 94 Kirkstall Road in Leeds. It suits audiences interested in live soul-rock, with a line-up of guitars, synths and multi-voice singing.
