Anonymous Hadn't been there in a long time.Same old shit but people still go.What the fuck? - Mon, 16 Jun 2003 3:52am
Fred the Dragon Because it's good shit. Velvet consistantly fill Steamers on a SUNDAY night, which is more than I can say about any other band in Victoria. Hell, they played a Saturday and Sunday on the same weekend, and it was packed both nights. - Mon, 16 Jun 2003 12:59pm
J-D-L yep... i would have to agree ^^^ velvet does consistantly pack the place, why? because they are fun to listen to and have alot of hotties that come to steamers on that night :) - Mon, 16 Jun 2003 1:29pm
Gman Plus, Dan Tate fucking rocks the keys.

Fred the Dragon Rick May is no slouch either. That entire band just rips at their respective instruments. - Mon, 16 Jun 2003 3:33pm

KIDa it would seem in this situation, that its not really about the band. Its about the scene that has been created. IT IS about going and googling the hooties. The musicianship is top notch, but the jamming is nothing new. And, how many times can a vocalist sing inpromptu about his shoes?
Stay tuned - Tue, 17 Jun 2003 9:14am
Anonymous i like hooties, with the tight booties - Tue, 17 Jun 2003 9:29am
J-D-L its like an oasis of hotties there... and yes it is about the scene they created! and they do rip it in their own right! - Tue, 17 Jun 2003 12:45pm
BARF VELVET FUCKING SUCK!

Can they rip off other styles any more than the do?

IS it a Booker T and the MG's cover band?

these guys give me a headache, and so does Steamers layout, and 10 minute beer lines! - Tue, 17 Jun 2003 1:37pm
Gman BARF: Well, if the extent of your experience with the organ is Booker T and the MGs, then yes, I suppose you would say that.

Of course, I cannot agree with you. Dan Tate is beyond reproach. Do not reproach him further, please.

Thank you,

BARF Boring and uncreative. They have acquired the style and technique of other bands and mushed into one unbearable disco guitar schwack of lameness. - Tue, 17 Jun 2003 2:08pm
Gman BARF: You apparently misunderstood me: No more reproach!

Anyway, regardless of how *you* feel, it would seem that the folks packing the bar disagree with you. Apparently, the purpose of Velvet is to 'have fun' and 'groove out' not 'take a course in music history so that we can produce some glorious new jem of modern music which appeals to a select few navel gazers and jazz school dropouts.'

Not that I am saying you fit into either category necessarily.

PLUS:
Dan Tate = Success.

velvet got boring 5 years ago - Wed, 18 Jun 2003 5:56am
Anonymous It appears Leigh was looking in the mirror again working on his 'moves' for Grace Nocturnal and got a bit carried away, it's a bass, not your own dick. - Wed, 18 Jun 2003 12:15pm
the truth be told if its soooo boring and un-original, why the fuck is it packed everytime i go? Cause its good times(which means everyone has fun)... for all you haters out there, why don't you try packing a house on a sunday night with the hottest ladies in town, GOOD LUCK - Wed, 18 Jun 2003 1:58pm
Gman ^ What he said.

And no, I am not 'blowing' Dan Tate in anything beyond a metaphorical fashion.

Besides, he's engaged.

Gman - Wed, 18 Jun 2003 3:39pm
Gman Although I did blow him that one time. Glub. - Wed, 18 Jun 2003 9:23pm
Gman ^ Good one, nick-thief.

Charlotte I think Velvet is pretty cool - with the exception of the singer. He just doesn't seem to add anything. - Wed, 18 Jun 2003 10:36pm
