A bracing combo of the sounds of: QOTSA, Smashing Pumpkins and Julio Iglesias! This is one description that can be given of The Velvicks, New York City’s up n’ coming ‘stadium rock’ band.
To start, singer Vick Nader, from a small Brazilian town in Minas Gerais, finds himself in the big apple surrounded by a group of incredibly talented musician friends. Growing up between Brazil and USA he quickly found that music and guitar became both a therapy, and a social catalyst, connecting both of his cultures. Being a very prolific songwriter, Vick started sharing some tunes with the “Brazilian gang” (Vinny and Ed) that besides being Berklee alumnus, they were old time friends from Brazil. They started writing songs for fun and playing them at parties they were constantly throwing in a basement in Brooklyn, where it quickly escalated into full on rock concerts. Following a serendipitous encounter with a booking agent at one of these parties, strong support from their Brooklyn music community, and the addition of Dennis D’Angelo and JV Vidopio, the group evolved into what is now known as The Velvicks.
