Velvet Dog - putting the Decadence back into Rock!

About Me


KEEP CHECKING THE WEBSITE!!! UPDATED REGULARLY -- WWW.VELVETDOGMUSIC.COM
New CD RELEASED!!! IN HEAT!!!
As long time friends who first met in high school and previous bands in the Midwest, Leno, Taj Dahl and Rock Wyldde came together to form Velvet Dog in mid 2007 after a previous singer had passed away. After polishing their chops, explosive theatrics and on-stage antics Velvet Dog exploded onto the Chicago rock scene infecting fans with their debut album, Spreading the Disease. The bands latest album, In Heat, (released May 30, 2009), takes Rock Wylddes testosterone fueled lyrics and stadium ready guitars along with Lenos thunderously roaring bass and Tajs rhythmic insanity behind the drums, to create an album of fist-pumping Rock & Roll! With crowd favorites such as “Give It Up”, “Slap in the Face” and “Not Like You” don't be surprised if you find Velvet Dog at the top of the rock charts and beyond.
