La Velvet

Worldwide phenomenon LA Velvet is a Los Angeles-based band founded in 2010 by front woman pioneer and lioness Laura V. In addition to providing the lead vocals, Laura V is also the fierce front woman guitarist and the band’s songwriter. LA Velvet’s unique, modern edgy rock sound is unlike anything else out there and has earned great reviews. “LA Velvet plays their own version of modern danceable rock that conquers the charts,” declares Obliveon Magazine. “They are a combination of ’70s Blondie, an 80’s Kim Wilde and a 90’s Gwen Stefani and No Doubt.” Now the band has released their 3rd studio album, “Indomitable”, which they are currently on tour promoting, including performances at the famous Sunset Strip Music Festival and Couvapalooza. Prior to their first official album release, LA Velvet licensed 18 songs to television shows including Keeping Up With The Kardashians, The Real L Word, MTV, VH1 and OXYGEN. LA Velvet’s self-produced debut album sold thousands of copies worldwide and led to a tour throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. Their sophomore album, “The One I Love”, was met with favorable reviews by the critics and hailed by Venture Magazine as “a chart worthy collection of sassy vocals, punchy guitar and high energy.” Peter Amara of Escence Center Stage describes LA Velvet’s sound as “a thunderous mix of indie rock and electronic influences” that effectively “enthralls and raptures the listening audience with its infectious melodies.” This album lead the band to being nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Director and Best Rock Video at the 2011 World Independent Music and Film Festival. LA Velvet also has major endorsement deals with Mineral Case Make up, Coffin Case and Jackson Guitars, who provided the hot pink Flying-V guitar which has become a part of Laura V’ s signature style. LA Velvet continues to surprise and please its audience with their daring and innovative approach to rock music, providing a unique, customized sound mixed with sweet powerful lyrics, resulting in a sound that is fearless and original. A sound that is… LA Velvet. http://www.lavelvetband.com
