About Me |
|
What do you get when you pair a top-fuel hard rockin' band at the end of their rope with a sensual chick who can shred most other vocalists on command? VELVET BRICK...a unique combination of unapologetic aggression and endearing passion. Veterans of the Texas rock scene, this rowdy band boasts a swaggering style reminiscent of early Aerosmith and Guns-n-Roses, layers that with deeply raw and personal lyrics, and then ignites with a powerful and soulful delivery. Velvet Brick's debut album, FIREWATER, was released in January 2006 to critical acclaim -- garnering attention from the Grammys in 6 categories. They released their sophomore album, BITE DOWN HARD., in November 2007. The band is frequently the No. 1 downloaded album on online distribution site, CDfuse.com and has been the focus of numerous print, internet, TV, and radio features. Always on the road----watch for Deanna and the boys when they hit your town. Check out Velvet Brick live at Red Eyed Fly Dec. 7, 2007 -- Webcast by CapZeyeZ |
