Rob McFee (guitar and vox), Paul McGough (bass), Greg Osborn (guitar) and Emeri Schweigert (percussion) of Kitchener, Ontario are the founding members the alt-rock force Vacuity. Their music is lyrically compelling, conscientious and provocative, fused with entrancing and danceable post-grunge rhythm, eloquent guitar and mixed-media percussion. Cinematographer Jamie Usas regularly contributes an innovative visual component to Vacuity's performances, projecting live digital video of the band in sequence with haunting images inspired by their music.



For their debut release, The Middle Ground [2004], Vacuity toured Maritime Canada with Pilot Speed and garnered the support of Maple Music. Soon after their first tour, the band played by invitation at the Umbrella Music Anniversary show at Toronto's Rivoli Night Club. Vacuity continues to perform at high profile events like NxNE, Canadian Music Magazine's 25th Anniversary party, COCA and the North Bay Heritage Festival.



Vacuity has shared the stage with such acts as Alannah Miles, Hugh Dillon and the Redemption Choir, Howie Beck, The Junction, God Made Me Funky, Will Currie & The Country French, The Meligrove Band and Spirits. Vacuity's 2006 EP, Come On Get Real, was produced by Tod Cutler (Pilot Speed, The Trews, Sarah Slean). To promote their current album, At the Command of the Blanket Sky [2008], the band toured extensively across Western Canada in 2008 and 2009.



Vacuity is currently recording the much anticipated follow-up album, The Black Hour. Release and tour dates are to be announced in early 2010.
