Vib Gyor was a band that was formed in Leeds, England. The name was derived from the first letters of all the colors in the rainbow, in order from the shortest to longest wavelengths. The band consisted of Dave Fendick (vocals, acoustic guitar), Zane Keenan (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals), Jonny Mulroy (guitar and effects), and Jonny Hooker (drums). ==The band== Their debut single "Fallen" was released on 17 July 2006. Produced by Mike Cave at Liverpool's Parr Street Studios, the track received airplay on both sides of the Atlantic. There was a good response stateside, including airplay on KROQ, KNRK, WEQX, Indie 103 and an interview and acoustic session on San Diego station 91Xs The Big Break—a slot usually reserved for US talent. In the UK, Fallen received regional & national airplay including by Zane Lowe at Radio 1, Phil Jupitus and Tom Robinson at BBC6 music & XFM, causing XFM DJ Clint Boon (of Inspiral Carpets fame) to announce "This band are going to make a huge impact on the world of music. They are going to be massive." The Leeds-based band formed in 2004, Vib Gyor went on to perform at Glastonbury and Manchester's In The City music convention later that year. In summer 2006 they played at the launch night of XFM Manchester with Goldfrapp at the Manchester Ritz to a sell-out crowd.
