The Vals hail from Belfast,and set the scene alight with an array of fist in the air anthems,soon spreading the word to Ireland the U.K and parts of Europe with a list of festivals and high profile gigs.
Playing great venues in London,Belfast,Dublin,Geneva and Liverpool including the famous Cavern Club,The NI:Next - Generation Festival in The Brixton Windmill,headlining Belfast's Spring & Airbrake,Gifted @ The Empire,Radar at Queens University and also taking part in Switzerlands Partytime Festival in April 2008,storming the main stage on the Saturday night,the first Irish band to do so in their 11 year history.
In 2006 the band co-headlined Feile an Phobail,Europes largest community festival,with Echo and the Bunnymen,an honour for the band having grown up in West Belfast.The gig opened many doors for the band,including praise from Ian McCullough lead singer of the Bunnymen.
In 2008 they supported Ocean Colour Scene during the 'Pure Acoustic' tour,gaining a legion of OCS fans and much praise from Simon Fowler and Steve Craddock for the bands performance during the Belfast leg of the tour.
The band have also been lucky enough to have recorded some tracks in Windmill Lane studios in Dublin,famous for producing albums by the likes of U2 and The Rolling Stones and also Amberville studio recording an album in just a day!
Many of the bands tracks have received great response all around the world,with constant airplay on stations in the U.S such as North Carolina's PW Radio on WMFO, and also making the Heavy Grinder playlist on Manhattans Altrok f.m alongside the likes of Razorlight and Coldplay.

***OFFICIAL VIBE PRESS RELEASE***
re. VIBE no longer at Milk
It appears that Milk are trying to hijack the VIBE brand by postering & flyering with a brand they are calling "live VIBEs" (the "live" & "s" are so small you can hardly see them on the posters!).
They have even tried to further reinforce that Carley & Tina are part of this promotion by putting "C&T promotions" on the flyer!
Milk are attempting to get party-goers into the club by deceiving and misleading them....please let everyone know that VIBE are nothing to do with Milk & this "new" Sunday promotion is a poor attempt to ride off someone else’s hard work. This promotion is motivated purely by jealousy and financial gain, unlike VIBE, which is always promoted from a burning desire to give people a great night out.
VIBE IS NO LONGER AT MILK & WILL HAVE NO ASSOCIATION WITH ANY ACTIVITIES AT THIS VENUE.
Future VIBE parties will be taking place at Club Mynt on Saturday nights; watch this space for some extra-special shenanigans!
