Brendon Thomas And The Vibes during last year's X Factor.
Bohemian trio Brendon Thomas & The Vibes, who appeared in New Zealand's TV screens during The X Factor NZ last year, will play a gig in Rotorua.
Comprised of frontman Brendon Thomas, drummer Timothee Nolier and bassist Michael Anderson, the band applied for the show after the announcement of a
bands category, a first in the show's international franchise.
Wearing their influences (Hendrix, Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Who) on their tassled sleeves, Brendon Thomas and The Vibes made their way to the show's grand final, putting their signature spin on every song they covered, smashing a few guitars and guiding their debut EP The Eclect to #1 on the NZ iTunes charts.
Next month they embark on a 'Wrap You In The Sun' national tour that includes a show at Rotorua's Pig & Whistle on August 4.
On the show the trio also managed to catch the ear of Kiwi rock and roll luminary, Split Enz's Eddie Rayner, who signed on to produce the band's forthcoming 'Wrap You In The Sun' EP.
