First Time Victor

About Me

First Time Victor distills a brand new mix of grooves, resulting in an original sound that has the crowds up their feet. Afro-Caribbean grooves, wild dancy beats, bouncy music!
Mike Pugh and Brad Bradley were high school jam buddies who wanted to do more than jam. Mike and Brad had been composing songs together for years, and started auditioning singers to front their soon-to-be band. After giving up on the initial search for singers, they met Alex, the European wonder who could keep a beat, and the band started to gain momentum.
In April and May 2007, the 5-member strong band was shortlisted and eventually selected by the Vancouver Arts Institute to help its students with their final year recording projects. The band thus recorded its demo in the Institutes's own studio.
First Time Victor has since performed various venues, clubs and festivals all over BC since the summer of 2007.
