ULTRA-ROMANCE by VELVETEEN BLUE

VELVETEEN BLUE, much like the band whose ashes it was raised on leans heavy on the slap-sappy mock-schlock neo-retro parody-lounge.

2003 saw this new ensemble emerging, if not once again. Mezzanine's vision regrouped as a trio with brand new members along with original, prerecorded backing tracks as a rule of a sore thumb.

Although a comic routine on one hand – stretching romanticism to its limit – VELVETEEN BLUE successfully pulls off a perfectly sober presentation (dressed to the 99’s), suitable for all occasions.

Keep a sharp poke in the eye out and a couple of good peeled ears of corniness out, from the Velveteen Blue for us. We’re not going anywhere.

Credits

released May 6, 2021

Yours Truly (Laurence Bond Miller)
Ventriloquist, synth keyboards (and all other instruments)

B. Deluxe (Brian Delaney)
Takes to his guitar like a rocket takes to science. This is brought about partly due to his wealth of experience performing in various genres over the years and his ability to read minds. Rumor has it he hasn’t broken a string in 15 years. There’s even been suggestion that he may not even use strings…

Sliced Holmes (Eric Bernreuter)
Performs 76 trombones non-stop without reservation, and time left over to ‘slide’ into first. This cat blows all brass off the map. He’s even been know to create new nations.
