@BlitzVega Andy Rourke & Kav single ‘Lost Myself’ is out now! Watch the full vid on YouTube & stream on all platforms (link in bio)

After announcing details of the debut album ‘Northern Gentleman’ on what would’ve been co-founder Andy Rourke’s 60th birthday, Blitz Vega today share the new single ‘Lost Myself’. The band founded by Andy Rourke and Kav - will then release ‘Northern Gentleman’ on September 27th.

Kav says, “‘Lost Myself’ was both of our favourite songs on the album. It was inspired by our journeys of losing people and the moments of dealing with grief, trying to find the balance to be able to get on with life. Although we wrote the song in the summer of 2019, I rewrote the lyrics early in 2023 when I was travelling back from NYC to LA finishing the album whilst seeing Andy in hospital dealing with his illness.

Today would have been our friend & bandmate Andy Rourke’s 60th Birthday.

He’s left a huge hole in our lives & we miss him dearly.

A few weeks before he passed he made me promise that we would release the @BlitzVega album & play it live as he’d put so much into making this record whilst fighting his illness.

We are privileged today to announce the album will be released in 2024 & the limited edition Strong Forever EP Vinyl is available now via online & record stores Kav @KAVblaggers
