HISTORY |
|||||||||||||||||||||
|
V-Sor,X (pronounced vee-sore-ex) originated in Lichfield,
Staffordshire UK where Morgan and Rolls met had started a dubiously titled
band called, Ambush Infancy. The band soon changed their name to V-Sor,X and began to gig with a drummer Simon Atkins. There
was a short period of inactivity and playing in other bands before they
restarted with Rob as keyboard player and Alastair Boyle on drums (a space he
held for many years). This has always felt like the true start of the band
and it is Morgan, Rolls and Rob that have really defined the band’s sound and
direction. Credit and thanks must also go to a number of past members
(Alastair Boyle, David Grant, Alex Newton, Jaqueline Hemmings and Tony
Joseph). Where did the
name originate from? Morgan and Rolls were looking for a name that would only
ever mean one thing – the band. So, a handful of names were conjured up but
V-Sor,X was the clear winner. However, in retrospect
it may not have been the smoothest choice as it is hard for people to
pronounce and works badly in internet searches and file names. Still, it has
achieved its initial aim and it is hard to imagine the band with any other
name. |
