Finn Andrews

Finn Andrews is lead singer and songwriter of London based band The Veils. His father Barry Andrews was a forming member of 80's bands like XTC and Shriekback and later went on to play with Iggy Pop, Robert Fripp and David Bowie.

Finn was born in Camden Town, London and grew up between his father in London and his mother in Auckland, New Zealand. He attended Takapuna Grammar School during his teens where he met The Veils bass player Sophia Burn, before leaving for London shortly after his 16th birthday to make The Veils debut album The Runaway Found.

As of 2009 he has released three records with The Veils: The Runaway Found (2004), Nux Vomica (2006) and Sun Gangs (2009). He's known for his extremely cathartic live performances and his unique singing voice guesting on albums by Brian Eno, Shriekback and The Mint Chicks on backing vocals. In 2011 Finn started his own record label Pitch Beast Records in order to generate funds to record The Veils 4th album which he will also be co-producing. The money was raised and the new album is due for release late 2012.
