Vespera has been together for almost 6 years now.Since the band hit the scene and began playin shows on a regular basis,Vespera has gained a substantial amount of success with no label and almost no promotion at all. After recording and producing a 6 track demo in the basement of drummer Jon Murphy and a former guitarist,Vespera was begining to make a name for itself around the state.Vespera was selected out of 10 bands at a local showcase to perform at the highly acclaimed NEMO music festival in boston in 2004 fresh out of high school. College radio caught on quick. Left With Nothing recieved regular airplay on UCONN radio 91.7 WHUS and even a number one hit on QU Radio 98.1 WQAQ. Even more recently, Vespera was the feature local band for one week on CT's only rock station 106.9 WCCC on the "New At 2 Homegrown Show." Vespera has shared the stage with numerous national acts including,Chevelle,RA,Finger11,Thornley,Dope,Motograter,Sno Core Tour 04(Strata,Finger11,Smile Empty Soul,and Trapt),Sno Core Tour 05(Strata,Future Leaders of the World,Helmet,Crossfade,and Chevelle), and more. Vespera's live show is a show within itself. You can guarentee to see a crazy ass stage prescense you dont see too often nowadays. Twins Charlie and Tommy highlight the performance as they unintentionally mirror eachother jumping and spinning all over the stage as if it were choreographed, while Jon screams and beats the shit out of his drums. Mikes' vocal melodies and lyrics will captivate you and will sure be stuck in your head ,especially with Jons amazing harmonies and screams. The best part of Vespera is the brotherhood the four-piece share. The guys were best friends before Vespera was created. As time passed the guys friendship turned into something special which you can see on stage and in the music. Vespera is one of the most genuine bands you will ever see. They all share the same passion for performing and music itself; more importantly,a love for one another. With youth at Vesperas' advantage(all are 20 expect Jon is 21), you can expect a shit load of success headin towards thier way.
