About Me



------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------- Velveteen is the point of intersection between the intensity of distorted rock energy and the intimacy of melody. The band plays music with manifest references to the rock scene of the early nineties but they infuse into the music a quality of topicality and presence.The inspiration is primarily found in the crackling facades of the metropolis and the feign decadence that saturates human interaction in general.The band - which is a classic rock-constellation consisting of drums, bass, distorted guitars, and vocals – hails from Copenhagen and has been around since 2005.Live, Velveteen plays with great focus, authority, intransigence and with true dedication and humility for a growing crowd of fans. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------
