The Velvet Teen Information
|
|
The Velvet Teen is a band from Northern California founded by Judah Nagler and Logan Whitehurst as a side project from their other bands. They were soon joined by bassist and vocalist Joshua Staples and recorded an EP, The Great Beast February in 2001.
That year, they were signed by Slowdance Reords and collaborated with Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla on their first full-length album Out of the Fierce Parade. Logan Whitehurst, who is also an accomplished artist, did the cover art for the album. Two videos from the album were featured on Subterranean, an MTV2 program.
Their second full-length album, Elysium, was recorded without guitar on a laptop. The tracks on this album are epic, both musically and lyrically.
After the release of Elysium in 2004, Logan Whitehurst left the band for health reasons and his wish to follow his solo career, Logan Whitehurst & the Junior Science Club. Casey Deitz took Logan's role as dummer/vocalist.
The band is currently working on a new album, due for release in 2006.
