We are so excited to announce that we will be opening up for Portland’s Blitzen Trapper on July 21st, at The Soapbox in Wilmington. We are so looking forward to it, as it will be our biggest gig yet.

This is the awesome flyer for our show tomorrow night at the soapbox. Our friend Karl Kuehn from Museum Mouth is the wonderful artist.

This flyer is for our first HEADLINING show ever, and we couldn’t be more excited!! It’s the first friday of the summer for high school students, and we have some incredible bands opening for us.

Also, we’re very close to having a new single done and releasing it. We love everyone who has supported us and listens to our music, you’re making our dream a reality <3

Kind words

“[Dylan Wilkinson] and the band tore through an energetic and elegantly moody set of indie rock fused with soaring melodies. While the music had an atmospheric, almost dreamy quality, it also merged catchy, pop aesthetics without leaning to much on them.”

Kind words from Brian Tucker of Star News. Check out the full article here:

Tonight is gonna be one of the greatest ever, like, in the history of the world. The absolutely incredible band Desert Noises is returning from Utah on their East Coast Tour to play a show with us at Satellite. It’s free and is gonna be awesome.

Also, we’ve been in the studio for the past few weeks. We almost have a new single finished up, and we’re trying to get our EP out to everyone over the next couple months. <3

Strange Days. Stranger Nights.

That pretty much sums up the show yesterday, and I mean that in the best possible way. It was incredibly fun, and a great experience. We had a blast playing the new songs for everyone, and watching Last Year’s Men and River City Extension was great. We love Wilmington, and everyone who was there last night.

A little about tonight / A teaser

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:29:50 -0500

‎”From our own hometown comes effervescent indie act, Villa Verde. Comprised of Dylan Wilkinson, Wesley Hewett, Joshua Sullivan, the band produces complex rhythms and catchy melodies. Villa Verde will surely attract attention as the opener of this Soapbox show, presented by Gravity Records.”

-Encore Magazine about the show tonight with Last Year’s Men and River City Extension.

We are incredibly excited to play tonight and we’re kind of overwhelmed with the support we’re receiving.

Also, we have some big news to be announcing soon. Stay tuned for the release of Polaroid and more!
