History
The band Veda was born in Kansas City, Missouri during the spring of 2004. The rock quartet started with Brian Little and Kristen May playing in a previous band together for about a year. With Kristen's unique powerful vocals and Brian's inventive ambient guitar riffs, Veda began. Soon came Jason Douglas on bass and Drew Little on drums and Veda was complete. The musical influences of the band collectively are the Joy Division, the Foo Fighters, A Perfect Circle, Bjork and Coldplay. Veda emerged on the scene playing with local bands in Missouri and Kansas as well as opening for mainstream touring acts bringing their music to a wide variety of audiences. In the summer of 2004, Veda collaborated with Ed Rose at Black Lodge to record their first six song e.p. Though this band is new to the scene, they win fans over with their live rock show. This dynamic show is what has caused quite a buzz about this young band. With mature lyrics, beautiful melodies, a tight rhythm section, and a strong work ethic, the future is looking bright for Veda.
