Some Velvet Morning Revolution Now!

svm3

You Say You Want A Revolution… Look no further and read on.

Some Velvet Morning’s new single ‘How To Start A Revolution’ is on the international trailer for ‘Kickass,’ the new Matthew Vaughn Hollywood blockbuster. Their distorted basslines and pounding beats have woken up audiences around the World offering them a sound to believe in again - “You won’t fool the children of the Revolution!”

Some Velvet Morning like to do things differently. Recording live to tape, rather than computer in their large north London studio, the Fish Factory, the band have built momentum over the last three years with a series of radio friendly gems including BBC and XFM playlisted singles ‘Losing My Mind’ and ‘Propaganda’ from album “Silence Will Kill You” and “Resistance” from their Some Velvet Morning E.P.

‘Losing My Mind’ took the band to the states to record a show (Fearless) for Fox TV, followed by a tour of East Coast. It wasn’t long before the rest of the world caught on – Some Velvet Morning have taken their sound to the South of France, Russia and most recently Asia, where the band performed for 3000 fans as part of the Heineken Greenspace festival.

Some Velvet Morning’s roof top publicity stunt nearly got them arrested: With a nod to the Beatles, the band shunned council authorities by performing live on the roof of the PRS For Music in London on January 30th 2009, blasting their cries of the revolution across six blocks around Soho. Oxford Street also hosted another ‘heritage’ gig this year, when Some Velvet Morning supported the legendary Yardbirds at the 100 Club in February.

Whilst learning from masters of the UK’s buoyant musical past, Some Velvet Morning continue to break new ground by veering away from the normal pop fodder of teenage crushes and heartbreak, preferring instead subjects such as religious tolerance, western political indoctrination and McCarthyism.

Join the revolution that started from the bottom of a garden shed…!

Some Velvet Morning to play the 100 Club on the 14th May 2010!

A nation wide tour in June is on the cards expect a very special show! Check out the websites below:

See what the others say:

“Their lyrics and songs are far more interesting than their UK contemporaries” The Fly

“Why should you care? Because throaty blues rock gets your blood pumping. They pack more clout than the Black Keys and Black Crowes on a sleaze-fest bender.” Total Guitar

“Frontman Des Lambert has a voice powerful enough (to) negotiate suicides off a 10-storey building….This is all good.” Rock Sound

“Silence Will Kill You’ is an assured debut, showcasing the huge potential of the band” BBC Music

“Their sound has stadium rock written all over it.” Manchester Evening News

“The Madness of Crowds is a special piano recording that touches a nerve in my body owned by Paul McCartney and there is no higher compliment payable to a band” Glasswerks

“1970s blues rock and modern pop sensibilities merge to create a mighty melodic racket and it’s as catchy as hell” Big Issue
