Unfortunately, due to having the chicken pox, Vector Lovers will be unable to perform at the Tate Gallery tonight. He will also have to miss out on tomorrow's show at Indigo, Istanbul (tomorrow night, 6th May).

We hope that he will be well enough to take part at Encompass next Saturday, 13th May, where he'll be joining Dave Congreve (Repeat Repeat), Silicone Soul and Envoy for the Encompass Soma 200 Party.

You can see the video of 'Post Arctic Industries' by Vector Lovers, here:
