STARTED IN 2006, THE VELVEETA BROTHERS ARE A UNIQUE COVER ~ ORIGINAL METAL BAND OUT OF ATLANTA. FOUNDED BY ROB MEEKS (also in Dark Overlord band) HE WANTED TO FORM A BAND THAT DIDN'T FOLLOW THE RULES. THIS MEANT OBSCURE CLASSIC ROCK SONGS MIXED WITH METAL HEAD FURY... AS WELL AS, BLISTERING ORIGINALS THAT WOULD QUELL ANY CHANCE THAT THE IBUPROFEN WOULD ALLEVIATE YOUR HEADACHE. YEPPERS, ITS A TOUCH OF CHEESE MIXED WITH ALL OUT METAL GLORY
WE ALL LONG FOR.
ORIGINALLY FORMED WITH SEAN 'the CAT' MORRIS & JOE 'the VETERAN' MARTINEZ, THEY DEBUTED AT SMITH'S OLDE BAR AS A 3 PIECE WITH UNUSUAL METAL COVERS OF SONGS (Seger, the Guess Who, Led Zep, etc.)
AFTER A YEAR OR SO OF EARNING THEIR KEG PARTY STRIPES, THE VELVEETA BROTHERS GAINED MORE OLE SKOOL BROTHERS FROM THE 80'S HIGHSKOOL DAYS...
THE INFAMOUS JIMI NEWTON, ATLANTA'S UNKNOWN KARAOKE KING aka MARIETTA JIMI aka THE DARK LORD VIPER, BROUGHT MANY YEARS OF SINGING SAVVY. WINNER OF SEVERAL KAROAKE CONTESTS, HE POLISHED HIS 'HOOD ORNAMENT' WITH HIS SIGNATURE "LOST IN THE '80s" METAL HAIR & TIGHT DENIM VOICE. HE PLAYED IN SONIC FURY & HAS ALSO WON SEVERAL NATIONAL TITLES WITH SEGA SATURN, PLAYSTATION 2, & HALO XBOX.
A SHORT WHILE LATER, SEAN THE 'CAT' MORRIS WAS ABDUCTED BY GRAY ALIENS & THE ROBSTER BROUGHT IN AN OLE SKOOL HATE MACHINE FROM THE DARK OVERLORD DAYS: TIM MATTHEWS, NOT SO LEGENDARY DRUMMER FROM 'CORPSEWORM' & SEVERAL OTHER BANDS, TOOK OVER DRUM DUTIES & 'BLASTED' IT TO A NEW LEVEL. HE REALLY IS A NICE GUY...
THE OTHER SHREDDER, JEREMY BURNS aka PUDDIN', WAS DRAFTED BY THE GODS OF STRING TO JOIN THIS VELVEETA POSSE. NOT SO EXPERIENCED & DECEPTIVELY SHY, 'PUDDIN' STEPS UP TO THE PROVERBIAL PLATE & DELIVERS A MEATY DISH OF SOMETHING OR ANOTHER, LEAVING MOST WITH THEIR FISTS RAISED IN GLORY! HE ATTENDS A COLLEGE FOR METAL HEADS & CLASSICAL FREAKS. RAISED BY WOLVES IN CANTON, GEORGIA.
THE VELVEETA BROTHERS HAVE SEEN SOME EXPOSURE WITH ON-AIR RADIO PLAY WITH GEORGIA TECH'S WREK 91.1FM & SPECIAL SESSION ON 'DIRTY SOUTH TV' WITH 'G'.
CONTINUING THEIR TOUR OF MEDIOCRITY, THE VELVEETA BROTHERS CONTINUE WRITING NEW MATERIAL & PLAYING SHOWS WHENEVER THEY GET A CHANCE!
BE SURE TO CHECK THEM OUT LIVE... THE SONGS ON THE PAGE ARE ONLY A SAMPLE THAT THEY DID THEMSELVES IN THE 'BLACKLIGHT LOUNGE' ON A 16-CHANNEL WORKSTATION & DOESN'T FULLY REPLICATE THEIR FURY OF BLISS & FISTED SHITS.
