Blue Velvet is an instrumental sextet based in New York City. We are made up of two electric guitarists, two percussionists, a cellist, and a keyboardist. Our music is, for lack of better terms: minimal, repetitive, noisy, drony, angular, abrasive, "experimental", "no wave", "post rock". 10 Influences and Heroes: Tony Conrad, The Zombies, The Velvet Underground, Philip Glass, Glenn Branca, The Ex, Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Lungfish, and Shellac.

Our music is organic, made by real people in real time, no tricks, samples, or loops, and no vocals, distorted or processed guitar, no electric bass, and no standard rock drum kit.

We are booked by Noise Problem, based in Chicago, IL, and have done tour support for Octis, Green Milk From The Planet Orange (Japan), and My Way My Love (Japan), and countless others while home and on the road.

We'd prefer to play an all ages (or 16+) show, and would hope to be put on a bill with other local bands, and would also be happy to open up an existing bill. But we'd appreciate any help you could give us, and look forward to hearing from you. If you have any other dates available near the one mentioned above, or could point us in some other helpful direction, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Matt Peterson
