    Hi,

    Just let it be known that Veeva Feeva is not a rock and blues band. Infusing a dynamic mix of genres from groovy funk to reggae, with charismatic live performances, VEEVA FEEVA (formerly known as Beeva Feeva), from the small Western Australian town of Margaret River, have created an original vibe that draws together and unifies audiences with their positive energy. Many have described their sound as “People Music” – real, fresh and catchy songs to make you shed inhibitions, dance and feel alive. Go and have a listen at http://www.myspace.com/veevafeeva to hear what they really sound like.
    Peace and Save the Yarragadee!

    It is all true, I’ve seen you live! (at WAMI Spectacular, well, half the gig, and I think you didn’t have the complete band?)
    Definitely funky and reggae too!

    I think I got that part of the blurb from the official website, boo to them (and boo to me for not changing it! I’ll do it now :D )
