Bio

Bohemian trio The Vibes, comprised of frontman Brendon Thomas, drummer Timothee Nolier and bassist Michael Anderson teleported from the psychadelic 60’s to our TV screens, auditioning for the sophomore season of The X Factor NZ.

The Auckland-based outfit applied for the show after the announcement of a bands category, a first in the show’s international franchise. After a barnstorming take on Hendrix’s Foxy Lady, Brendon and his stagemates earned themselves a reputation as a live highlight among the show’s top 12.

Wearing their influences (Hendrix, Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Who) on their tassled sleeves, Brendon Thomas and The Vibes made their way to the show’s grand final, putting their signature spin on every song they covered, smashing a few guitars and guiding their debut EP The Eclect to #1 on the NZ iTunes charts.

Eventually taking third place in the show, the band has returned to their well-worn gig circuit, doing what they do best – delivering one of the most electric live shows around, with a full live calendar that boasts profile gigs like Rhythm & Vines and Homegrown Festival. Signed to Sony NZ, they're currently working on their sophomore EP with Split Enz legend Eddie Rayner.

Band Members:
Brendon Thomas (guitar, vocals)
Timothee Nolier (drums)
Michael Anderson (bass)
