Band Story

Internet Killed the Rock Star... But Velvet Dog Brought It Back to Life

VELVET DOG isn’t just a band—it’s a disease. And if you’ve just caught it, there’s no cure.

These gutter-glam renegades have been spreading their infectious blend of sleaze, punk, and glam-rock filth across every dive bar and dirty stage that’ll have them. They’re hellbent on putting the decadence back in rock—and they’re not asking for permission.

With the attitude of ‘70s punk, the swagger of Sunset Strip’s golden years, and a whole lotta bite, V.D. doesn’t sound like anyone else, yet somehow channels all their filthy influences into a sound that’s straight-up rock 'n' roll. It’s been said they sound a bit like their heroes... and a whole lot like nothing you’ve ever heard before.

Velvet Dog is currently in heat—roaming the streets, tearing up the scene, and locking themselves in the studio doghouse to lay down some fresh licks. Expect to get chewed up and spit out by Rock’s ferocious guitar fire, while Leno and Taj lay down a thunderous, snarling rhythm section that gnaws at your bones.

They're looking for the final piece of the puzzle: that elusive, dirty, sleazy, gutter-born glam rock bassist. If you think you’ve got the grit to keep up, dial the Velvet Dog Hotline at 414.759.3298 and leave your mark.

Check out the new site—dropped 2.10.09—at www.VelvetDogMusic.com, and watch for the V.D. trailer tearing up the highways. Velvet Dog is available for booking and ready to infect your stage.

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s a resurrection. Velvet Dog is here. Watch out.
