The Velvet Teen
From California
First Twin Cities show since since November 10, 2007 • First Varsity show
From last.fm:
Since its inception in late 1999, The Velvet Teen has traveled the world and challenged the very concept of genre with its eclectic and at times schizophrenic appeal. From the early EPs which showed prowess in the pop realm, to the dynamic indie jangle of ‘Out of the Fierce Parade’, to the romantic strings and quietly political lyrics of ‘Elysium’, to the sexually charged whip-it beats of ‘Cum Laude’, The Velvet Teen truly has a talent for seducing the masses into a cult-like state, before promptly leaving the faithless with nothing but a kool-aid aftertaste.
