Vaniish (ex Wax Idols / Soft Moon) released debut LP (stream it), playing NYC in September

by Bill Pearis

Keven Tecon logged time in San Fancisco bands Wax Idols and Soft Moon but left the drummers seat of both to form his own group, Vaniish. The new quartet — featuring fellow Wax Idols member Amy Rosenoff  as well as Bay Area scene regulars Adam Beck and Nick Ott (drums) — released their debut album, Memory Work, in June. As you might expect from the lineage (and band name), this is chilly stuff, ranging from pounding post-punk to more ethereal creations. If you’re predisposed to the dark side, give this a listen below.

Vaniish will be in coming to NYC in September for a couple shows: Glasslands on 9/1 with Christines, INTERVAL and Winkie, as well as Weekend’s Shaun Durkan on DJ duty (tickets). Then they’ll play the 9/3 edition of Nothing Changes with fellow San Franciso band Offing, and Tiers.
