New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Despite having only formed back in June 2018, Manchester based three-piece VELVET SHAKES and their genre transcending sound have wasted no time in establishing themselves amongst the city's infamous music scene.
With five singles already released, and relentless gigging throughout Manchester, and further afield in Liverpool, Newcastle and Leeds already behind them the band have spent their time developing their sound through a shared love for indie, disco and house; resulting in a blend of indie-based guitar melodies, psychedelic synths and disco infused groove capable of getting even the most stubborn of crowds moving. Having ended 2019 with packed out support slot with Crazy P at Manchester's Gorilla, VELVET SHAKES were set to soar in 2020 with their newly reinvigorated, high energy, charisma filled live show and were confirmed for the likes of Focus Wales and Kendal Calling; building on already established support from the likes of BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, and XS Manchester - but there's always 2021...
Band Members:
Josh Bithell - Vocals & Synth & Guitar
Scott Hill - Guitar & Vocals
Anthony Hickey - Drums
In the band's own words:
"Our four-track debut EP is called Mellowdrama. Because it both encapsulates the passion and emotion of a traditional 'melodrama' but also because it was created during lockdown when life had never been so 'mellow' being stuck in our homes whilst outside and on the news all of this 'drama' was unfolding."
