The Velveteers originated in Boulder, Colorado, in 2014, formed by lead vocalist and guitarist Demi Demitro and drummer Baby Pottersmith. Their early years saw them performing at local DIY venues and releasing independent recordings. By 2016, they had released their debut single, “Death Hex.” A significant early milestone involved joining Deap Vally as an opening act for a UK tour in 2016, providing them with international exposure. The band’s consistent touring and compelling live shows contributed to their growing reputation.
In 2021, The Velveteers released their full-length debut album, “Nightmare Daydream,” produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. This album was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, and emphasized a live sound with minimal overdubs. The lead single, “Charmer And The Snake,” contributed to establishing their presence in the national rock scene. A notable event during this period was opening for Guns N’ Roses at a stadium show in Denver, Colorado, in August 2021, following an unexpected slot opening. The group’s musical style is rooted in garage rock and alternative rock, characterized by fuzzed guitar tones and a dual-drummer setup that creatively replaces a traditional bass role.
Continuing their collaboration with Dan Auerbach, The Velveteers released their sophomore album, “A Million Knives,” on February 14, 2025. This album, also recorded in Nashville, built upon their established sound by adding a fuller, more polished quality while retaining their distinct raw energy. The band has consistently showcased their ability to blend aggressive rock elements with thoughtful compositions, making them a distinctive presence in contemporary rock music.
