The Black Velvets (Slightly Pissed) Interview The Killers



The Black Velvets - What The People Say :



Armed with a cocksure sound and the sort of working class swagger that once served Oasis so well - Q



Seething, sexy and smart glam-punk music that sounds both mainstream and dangerous NME



Theyve distilled the spirit of classic rock. And drunk it. Kerrang!



You want The Black Velvets in your life. The swagger is real its wearing glad rags and is cocky as hell. Good. The Fly



The ballsiest new band around The Sun



At the End of 2005 The Black Velvets released Once In A While, the brand new single taken from the bands eponymous debut album which was released also later that year. The self-titled debut album is a collection of 10 glam punk rock classics that demand the listeners attention, all delivered with a cocksure swagger that displays the bands no frills attitude to rock and roll.



Already firmly established as a live favourite Once In A While displays all the hallmarks of The Black Velvets no nonsense glam punk rock! Driving guitars, pounding drums and an anthemic chorus all combined with the swagger and attitude that sets them apart from the pack.

The Liverpool four piece first started attracting attention at the start of 2004 having only been together for a few months but they quickly grew in stature and stood apart from any scene. They played dates with The Killers, The Who, Razorlight, Mark Lanegan, and John Squire to name a few, The Black Velvets then spent the latter part of 2004 in a remote studio in Ireland where they recorded the album with Mike Crossey



The album contains all their singles from the stomping Get On Your Life through the glam of 3345 to their current anthem Once In A While . The record delivers all the power and drive of their unstoppable live show which has been honed to perfection this year with everything from support slots with Motley Crue to defying the elements at Glastonbury. Right from the storming opener I Wont Lie Down through to the epic rock closer Youre Not Giving It All The cover of The Black Velvets album is an original piece of artwork by guitarist Robbie. The album is available from all physical and digital stores!
