About Me

A mouth-watering blend of rock & funk; veinmelter have struck a fabulous chord of originality.Their sound lies between the Beastie Boys & The Red Hot Chili Peppers; add some James Brown for the "stand as tall as you can" funk.With their first single released this month veinmelter has remained close to their roots and raucious attitude; keeping it simple and doing something different.Performing mostly original material, their a sensational rock band that fuses, rhythm, rock and rhyme, never leaving behind the funk or thier fans. Based in Eastern Pa, they have shared the stage with Marc Ribot, Disco Biscuits, G-Love, String Cheese Incident, Los Straightjackets, Buckwheat Zydeco and Kid Rock.veinmelter is Nigel Dickie, bass guitar and lead vocals, Matt Rush, guitar vocals and Dave Fisher, drums and percussion.-The freshest new flavor of sound is veinmelter.
