HISTORY

THE MAKING OF "BEAUTY IN THE GHOST"

The first mention of "The Late Virginia Summers" or "TLVS" was on the b-side to a 7" single put out by Cherub Records out of Richmond VA in the spring of 2004 (the a-side was another band that Nathan was in). After a few years & a few rounds of musical chairs, TLVS settled into a form reminiscent of their current incarnation at the beginning of 2009. As a duet, Joe & Nathan began writing music & playing shows around the mid-Atlantic states, with friends sitting in for the occasional "bigger" shows.

By 2015, Joey was playing most dates & was featured on some of the bonus material for the band's second LP, "I Can Dream All Day". The move from duo to trio was made official & the band began working on a self-produced EP, which surfaced in the spring of 2018. The COVID-19 pandemic halted progress on their third full-length, but the band pushed through, recording most of the album in their homes. "Beauty In The Ghost" was finally offered in October 2021.

Since 2009, TLVS has called the Harding Street Assembly Lab home for all recording projects, which includes three full length LP's, a few EP's, & a handful of digital releases.

To date, the group has shared stages with Chris Schlarb (Big EGO), Chris Staples (Barsuk), Creepoid (No Idea), Early Day Miners (Solid Brass), Eternal Summers (Kanine), Helado Negro (RVNG), Landing (K), The Love Language (Merge), Mountains (Thrill Jockey), MV & EE (Woodsist), Sound Of Ceres (Joyful Noise), Unwed Sailor (Spartan), & Yndi Halda (Big Scary Monsters), as well as dozens of the region's best independent rock acts.
