Biography
There are 6 bands with the name Velveteen
1: A band from London formed in 2012 combining post-punk, surf and shoegaze sensibilities. Sun-kissed music and melody. Velveteen released their debut 'Wasteland EP' towards the end of 2012.
2: A four piece indie rock band from Frankfurt/Germany. In April 2008, the band's album Home Waters was used as an april's fools joke by the manager of Moving Mountains, telling it's a leaked version of Death Cab For Cutie's new album, Narrow Stairs. The joke was pretty much successful due to the band's similar sound.
3: A rock band from Copenhagen/Denmark. They descripe themselves as 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.
This danish band - which is a classic rock-constellation consisting of drums, bass, distorted guitars, and vocals, has been around since 2005.
They have recently recorded a 4 track EP, entitled "Traffic lights and neon signs" (2009).
4: An indie-pop/garage band from Portugal. They have recorded two demos in k7 by the indie label Bee Keeper.
5 An 80s new wave/synth pop band consisting of Lisa Burns and Sal Maida that released their 12" "After Hours" in 1983.
6: "Velveteen is the solo project of Jai Oakley. A musician and artist living in Christchurch, New Zealand. Jai has a rich musical history which he weaves into the fabric of his solo project. Having made his mark as an integral part of the band Senica, Jai has emerged as a captivating solo artist, blending indie pop with shoe gaze and 90s alternative rock. Velveteen's music carries an infectious raw energy, emotional depth and authenticity. Velveteen delves into themes of introspection, self- discovery, love, and the human experience. Velveteen’s recent singles ‘Streamline’ and ‘Couldn’t Get Any Worse’ offer a glimpse into a solo journey, showcasing a unique sonic identity that resonates deeply. A new EP is on the horizon, due for release in December, promising a collection of tracks that delve into personal growth, resilience, and transformation."
