"The VeeVees are the most vibrant, creative new rock I have seen in a long time, loads of energy and great songs! These guys ROCK!" - Roy Hendrickson (Engineer/Producer - Paul McCartney, Cheap Trick, Empire Of The Sun, Mika) 

"Soulful, persistent, raw. Do pay attention to this excellent, creative duo!" - Mick Rossi (Pianist/Drummer/Composer - Paul Simon, Philip Glass) 

"Everyone should check out THE next big thing in rock music: The VeeVees are the real deal!!!" - Tone Def (Producer/Engineer - Green Day, Santana, Outkast) 


The VeeVees are Detroit bombshell Sophia Urista with the wails, roaming poet Garrett Cillo strumming strings and Italian powerhouse Andrea Belfiore on the skins.

There was a time when rock and roll wasn't just another musical genre, it was an attitude. A way to give voice to the voiceless in times of despair, passion, heartbreak, and rage. It was the limbo that guttural sex and violent drug abuse danced in through a reckless journey to a loud decay. It was a beautiful bomb. As Dylan would say, "the times they are a-changin'". And although it's not likely the world will ever see another Hendrix or Zeppelin, there are still those who believe in the dark glory days of rock.

Yearning for those dog-days is The VeeVees. This rock band from Brooklyn has little concern for anything other than creating raw, truthful, visceral music.

Frontman Garrett Cillo first met powerhouse drummer, Andrea Belfiore, at an underground masquerade on Halloween night in New York City's Chinatown, circa 2011. Cillo, being an avid songwriter, was immediately drawn to Andrea's incredible adaptability with any composition thrown his way. 

The duo hammered on, quickly garnering an exciting ten song set. From that set, the band pushed for their debut EP, hooking up with versatile Producer/Engineer Ben Rice of Degraw Studios. The VeeVees along with Mr. Rice arose from the studio with a strong debut aptly titled, "Tell Me It's Electric". The sound of the EP emulates a grooving, infectious and heavy nature, setting an exhilarated mood. It's one you can turn on late at night in the confines of your own bed to visualize and replay your own personal fantasies. This original soundtrack seems to be the mere kickoff to a long, prosperous journey among The VeeVees' rocking vessel. If "Tell Me It's Electric" is any indication of what's to come for these vicious Brooklynites, then hold on to your sanity and keep your arms and legs inside the coaster at all times. "Tell Me It's Electric" was released August 10, 2012. 

The EP was followed by the release of the duos first single DOG DAY REVEL. The songs music video was entirely written and directed by Garrett Cillo.

On April 11th 2013, after hearing the song BRUNETTE BABE from an iPhone video, producer Roy Hendrickson (which credits include Paul McCartney, James McCartney, Mary J Blige, POD, Cheap Trick) asked the band to record the song the following day. The VeeVees recorded Brunette Babe in legendary Studio A at AVATAR STUDIOS, NYC on April 12th 2013 in a 4 hours session. 
"Brunette Babe" was released October 25th 2013 followed by its music video premier directed by Cillo.

On July 13th 2013, the band made their first overseas trip to play at the AREZZO WAVE FESTIVAL, one of the biggest rock festivals in Italy. The VeeVees were one of the only two bands selected out of over 200 submissions (through Sonicbids) from Canada, United States, Brazil, Japan, France, Norway, Denmark, Austria, Hungry and others. 

The VeeVees released single"MAIN SQUEEZE", on December 23rd 2013 and single "GROOVIN' SWOON" on March 6th 2014. 

The Rock n' Roll trio...

Nearly two years after headlined over 100 shows across the US and internationally as a duo, Cillo and Belfiore asked their good friend and incredible vocalist Sophia Urista to have a simple jam together one day. It was so electrifying that not asking Sophia to join the band would have been a wasted opportunity, Cillo adds.

Her collaborations alone include legends such as Ashford and Simpson, and Quincy Jones.

Now that the three rockers have joined forces, they truly know no limits. The trio now resides in an infinite upward spiral of rock and roll creation preparing to wow every person they cross.

A genuinely unique and ground-breaking album that mixes Alternative Folk with Punk Poetry. Rafael Vigilantics was born the son of a New Mexico folk singer and a father lost to the prison system. He grew up working wildfires, traveling motorcycle shows and crossing the Mexican border to prizefight in abandoned pool halls. This album shows his folk roots and wild blend of heartfelt gypsy storytelling.
