For the first time in their history, Scottish pop punk band Vukovi will be performing their acclaimed album, Nula in full in London. The album, released last year, will take centre stage at the Electric Ballroom in Camden on 15th March.
Hailed as one of Britain’s most promising and exciting rock acts in recent years, Vukovi have recently made the move up, signing with SharpTone Records. In celebration of their achieving new heights and, as the band look forward to bigger and better success, Vukovi have decided to play their critically acclaimed Nula in its entirety.
Nula, the third album by the duo of Janine Shilstone and Hamish Reilly, is a concept album set in the future and revolving around the story of alien Nula. Nula, captured by capitalists, plots her escape after more than two decades of imprisonment. The album spawned hit singles, “Hurt,” “I Exist” and “Lasso.” For the London show, Vukovi plan to not only play the entire album, but also perform fan favourites and, enticingly, a few new numbers as well.
Speaking of the special performance, front-woman Shilstone said, “Never imagined we’d get to the point of headlining a venue this size, but we know it’s what NULA deserves and we’re hungry to put on the best show of our careers.”
Such was the reception and praise for Nula that the band naturally caught the eye of American independent record label SharpTone-a company that features a number of successful metalcore and alternative rock groups. Vukovi are yet to release a full length with their new label but have released single “Creep Heat,” signalling perhaps an upcoming project by the band. The band also promise to let fans in on what they are working on during their upcoming live dates this autumn.
Elaborating on their new signing and the release of their new video and single, “Creep Heat,” Shilstone said, “We have both been fans of Sharptone throughout the existence of VUKOVI. Our paths finally meeting is a real pinch me moment. I want this to be a catalyst for more women to start believing they are more than capable of directing; the industry and future generations need us. I’m always learning and growing as I go, there is never a right time to start other than now. I’m very grateful to be so well supported and believed in by Hamish and our team. I feel seen.”
In addition to the London show in early 2024, Vukovi will be joining Babymetal on their run of UK dates and Nothing More in Europe. Tickets for the Electric Ballroom will go on sale Friday and can be purchased here.
