Background:

Retro new wave act The Very includes Phil Inzunza (guitar/lead vocals), Lex Pratt (keyboard/vocals), Diana Death (bass/vocals), and Gigo Marquez (drums). The band takes their name from an oft-quoted line in the dark comedy Heathers, “You are so very....”

They released their album The Discovery in early 2011. It includes remake versions of songs from their original 200-copy demo, with new bassist Diana Death and remixed and remastered by Anthony Ridenhour at Cabana Studio. Later that year, they shot a video for their first single “A-Okay,” done on the style of the horror film The Shining, with Lex Pratt and Diana Death as the Creepy Ghost Twins.

Marquez and Death also play together in a Johnny Thunders tribute band.
