The Velvet Thunders + Than + Portrait Generation

The Velvet Thunders – these guys have perfected a party playlist set full of absolute banging dance tunes. From crunching, commercial hard rock classics, to indie bangers, funk and soul staples, big hip hop numbers and punk and new wave corkers. It’s all there to enjoy, with keening lead guitar, righteous riffola, floor quaking bass and big ass drums. And a superb frontman who really knows how to conduct a party. A superb night out assured Than –  featuring people who know a thing or too about playing in a hardcore informed also post punk informed garagebilly band… a fantastic hot off the block band in the same ballpark. Attitude, and righteous rhythm. Portrait Generation- Female fronted new wave infused  alt rock, hooky guitar lines and asort of laid back pretenders via R.E.M vibe to the tunes, great stuff.
