The KVB; Gadget Guru - Subscription Services & Heating Devices

Formed in 2010 by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nicholas Wood as a solo project, the UK's The KVB turned into a duo when vocalist, keyboardist and visual artist Kat Day joined Wood in 2011. Mixing elements of cold wave, post-punk, electronica and more, The KVB have released more than a dozen EPs and LPs over the past decade. In 2022, they toured around the world and back again, most recently supporting Editors in Europe. The English Show caught up with Nicholas Wood and Kat Day before their show in Zurich in October 2022, and the duo told us about their essential tour items, their newest album "Unity", and what the bossa nova has to do with their next project.
