StoneMtn Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I think it's time for Todd to make an angry phone call to the West Coast. It appears that there is an imposter band out there. I found this on the message board at www.upstreamentertainment.com ... Who: Velvet What: trance-house-soul-funk Where: sugar victoria When: dec.31.04 Sound: clear and loud ( but not tooo loud ) Ambience: pretty swank Crowd/Scene/Vibe: a healthy mix of ages and scenes Quote: are those screens movin for you or is it just me ? Highlite: 20 min trance jam on pappa was a rollin stone Support Act: worst dj of all time Lights : a fantastic array of projections, liquid ,beams and giant disco balls Complaint Dept: drunkards spilling drinks , see above dj review : Velvet are a victoria collective of musicians and djs who play a now familliar mix of house , rock, trance , funk and soul . These guys were lighting the dance floor on fire long before i ever heard of sts-9 . The set up for this show was bass , keys , dj , accoustic guitar and electric guitar and sometimes vocals . It is a wonder these guys have not made it much bigger as they can throw it down in a big way . There sound is very much a mix of lotus , sts9 , db , with a healthy DOSE of james brown . Kuba there enigmatic lead man lead the crowd into some very heavy pattened soul -trance . They had the dance floor groovin and sweatin hard for there entire 2 hour 30 min set . These guys have been gettin done in a big way for atleast 7 years now and i highly reccomend checking out one of there weekly victoria gigs , or at soundwave in tofino this summer . they used to play weekly gigs in seatle , whistler , van and victoria so maybe the name rings a bell . they would be a very worthy opener for an up coming upsteam event or a co headliner for discovery showcase night .

Velvet Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Velvet is such a cool name it gets used all the time. That is why my band is called The Tummies. That name is so lame nobody will steal it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going home Donny Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Don't be encouraging Velvets multis out of the box! I'm pretty sure it was many years of proffessional help getting them all tucked away no mung,no, sit mung,sit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
