The Veils, fronted by Finn Andrews — dressed in tailored suit, beloved hat and armed with a doleful snarl — have carved a gothic-tinged niche for the raw emotional dissection of their songs. Formed by Andrews after he quit high school in Auckland and moved to London, the band got its major break when signed by Rough Trade Records (The Smiths, Pulp, Suede etc). The Veils original line-up folded in 2004, to return with new members for 2006's Nux Vomica. 2008's Sun Gang was released to rave reviews.
