Vigil and Thieves is a Kansas City indie alternative quartet formed in early 2014. Previously described as “grandiose” with a “heartbreaking heaviness,” the band has honed in on dynamic and lyrically-driven song structures that have been compared to live poetry. Their debut album, ‘[defective] book one,’ was released in September 2014, followed by an east coast tour in support, and has since received high praise from publications including Liberty Press, CAMP Kansas City Magazine, and I Heart Local Music. The band received first place in the Judges’ Choice category in the 2016 Human Rights Campaign Battle of the Bands. Their sophomore EP, Neverland, embodies every adventure the band has collectively taken part in, while the summer of 2017 tour laid down the stepping stones for a brand new chapter with the release of a new single and efforts to record a debut full-length.
