VATICA

About Me

Vatica began only in January 2007 with the 2 founding members: Bret and J:10. The music you hear is essentially what was brought together between January and the present day. The early development of the band came admist rough self-recordings, which soon spawned the band's debut demo, "Reduced To This," released December 8, 2007.
Earlier in the year, on the eventful day of 7-7-07, Vatica debuted some of their material live (acoustic), at their first gig, opening for A Decade To Die For. The show was a success, and so was the acquirement of new drummer, Chris. Several acoustic gigs were played, and Vatica, operating on an underground level began to creep up in the Cincinnati music scene.The band will launch their full live Electronic-Alt-Experimental sound in 2008, with shows in the Cincinnati region.Together, the band pushes forward, with the committment to record and release their first EP.
NOW AVAILABLE: "VATICA: REDUCED TO THIS," the Official Demo. Just ask for it.
The band is currently booking local shows for the first half of 2008 in the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky area, soon followed by the Los Angeles area. They can be reached at:
