Denver band, The Velveteers led by 20 year old Demi Demitro and her brother John are thrilled to announce their Debut self-titled EP coming out on February 7th, 2018. The Velveteers EP is its own definition of dark-moody rock'n roll, fuzzed out with Demi's signature heavy guitar tones and monstrous riffs, accompanied by strong yet haunting vocals, all while John keeps rhythm with his distinctive drumming style. Each song on the album is a stand alone piece. The EP is overflowing with hooks branding each song a uniqueness that cannot be denied. Many of the songs written on the album were inspired by Demi's love for Brother Grimm Fairytales. Demi wrote the album in a cemetery while visiting not only the graves of her beloved, but the graves of her enemies, writing underneath the summer moonlight. The best way to describe this EP is if Led Zeppelin and The Cramps had a love child...
The Debut EP was recorded at Silo Sounds in Denver, Colorado with our good friend Todd Divel, who engineered, mixed and mastered the record. The EP features 6 songs, recorded all to analog tape. We are excited to release it not only digitally but also on vinyl. The vinyl will be pressed by Third Man Pressing (Jack White's pressing plant) in Detroit, Michigan. The record was produced by Demi Demitro.
The Velveteers formed in 2015, the brainchild of a then seventeen-year old Demi Demitro. She started playing guitar back in 2014 had been writing songs her whole life, and eventually her brother ended up drumming with her which lead to an unexpected chemistry that now makes up The Velveteers. With no music released, in fall of 2016 The Velveteers embarked on their first tour which lead them to the UK supporting Los Angeles duo Deap Vally. Soon after The Velveteers began recording their first EP and spent 2017 touring the USA, playing local music festivals, and opening for well known acts. The Velveteers plan to spend 2018 touring on their first record. Come celebrate the release of our first record with us at the Hi-Dive on 2/9!
