The Vermicious K'nids are a lot of things. They are a fictional species of amorphous, shape-shifting aliens that invade the Space Hotel USA in Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, but mostly they are a rock band out of Nashville, TN who over the last few years have been making a name for themselves in the underground rock scene. The band's sound has been labeled a lot of things: key-heavy circus-rock experimentalists, "if Pavement, the Pixies, and Mic Jagger all had a baby", power-pop, post-rock indie (whatever that is), and so on. You will quickly find this band's music hard to categorize and you can't help but jump up and dance along.
Here's what the press has to say:
"The Vermicious K'Nids started things out, and their well honed, key-driven power pop got the whole room quite excited right off the bat. There's no doubt the VK's are somewhat inspired by the sounds of The Killers/Bravery and their ilk, but there's a much more honest and less pretentious delivery that, combined with a bombastic, frenetic live show and undeniable songcraft, make their take on the genre worthwhile. Make sure to catch their cd release Dec. 5th @ the 5 Spot with a newly re-formed De Novo Dahl." - The Deli Magazine
