Okay, young musicians. Here's a huge opportunity for you. We're looking for a new Drummer, a new Keyboardist, and a New Bass Player. Have metal/alternative rock experience. It will look great on your musical resume. Opportunity to be on a record and perform out. Contact us via [email protected]
Pretty in Velvet is the artistic dream of Kage and Chris Paul. Performing in other bands over the years (Coven of Hate, Murder in the Dark, Hollow, Neverafter and Scott Crawford) and sharing the stage with the likes of The Serpenteens, Switchblade Symphony, Jack-Off Jill, Get Precious, The Lost Patrol, Overkill and Strange Things Done in the Midnight Sun, Pretty in Velvet encompasses 80's new wave (Gary Numan, Information Society) with a bit of electro ( Mesh, Devision, Assemblage 23) and old school rock (Alice Cooper and Ozzy) combining dark romantic lyrics and vocals, metal ripping guitars, ambient synths, and punk style drumming and creates a unique sound of it's own.
The debut album "Scream with Me: The Remastered Works" was an experiment into keyboard driven, emotion gripping music capturing moments of the artist's life and shoving them into your skull. Travel down the road of heartache and triumph through each song. Their next album “The Remains of the Heart”, due out the summer/fall of 2008, will take their music to the next level.
Pretty in Velvet is out to show people that they are alive, well, and ready to take on the world.
If you're interested in carrying "Scream with Me" wherever you sell music, drop us a line at [email protected] .
Shows will start at the end of February/beginning of March 2008.
For Promo CDs, interviews, distribution deals, radio shows, etc, email us at [email protected]
Special thanks to Melissa Mount for the fantastic work she's done on the album art and photography for Pretty In Velvet.
