Victoria Perks’ debut solo single “u belong 2 me” is just the start of her intrepid new musical adventure into the earthy realms of Americana/New Country/Folk-Rock/Pop. This song was previously covered by the likes of Bob Dylan and Patsy Cline.

Perhaps better known up until now, as ‘ViX’ the lead singer/songwriter of all-girl band “We’ve got a …FUZZBOX… and we’re gonna use it!!”

This talented professional also toured the UK and Japan with The Wildhearts’ frontman’s supergroup “Ginger and the Sonic Circus”.

Listening to how Victoria’s voice and songwriting has matured, it seems this well-seasoned traveller has finally come home.

XOVA – The R GENERATION and needless life lost in the Afghan and Iraq war

January 7, 2010 /

Flyer for Gig on FRIDAY 8th JAN 2010 at THE HARE AND HOUNDS, £3 TO GET IN

The R GENERATION track is about the needless life lost, on all sides, in the Afghan and Iraq wars , we dont blame the soldiers who are doing there job, we blame the corrupt Governments and their supporters, for sending them to war and for lying to the people of the world on why we went to war. Wayne the singer wrote the track after a friend of his Joe Murphy from Castle Brom was killed.

XOVA are intending to stand for the next election to highlight the peoples concerns on the unjust wars and unwanted wars, single parents, knife and gun crimes, corrupt goverment policys were they spend millions on smoke and mirror policies instead of feeding and helping  the poorest (the majority nowadays) – GORDON BROWN AND HIS GOVERNMENT ARE TO BLAME and we as people have to vote them all out.

XOVA new album THE PRESSURES OF LIFE and the single R GENERATION are on ITUNES NOW, Also there are various remixes of the single by DUBNINE, G CORP nad ZONED OUT all on ITUES as well

XOVA website is WWW.XOVALIVE.COM or WWW.MYSPACE.COM/XOVALIVE

In addition to the political tracks we throw a lot of love and Irie vibes into the mix and a wicked stage show and XOVA could well be the New band of the year from Birmingham
