Some Velvet Morning

1 Mar 2013 / Studio Theatre

Some Velvet Morning may be new to you, but they’re already familiar to Nancy Sinatra, Paolo Nutini and Razorlight, to mention just a few celebrity names that orbit their world. The famous daughter of the even more legendary 20th century swinger gave them her nod of approval when she heard that they were named after her best-known collaboration with Lee Hazlewood on the beautiful song Some Velvet Morning ('she was flattered'). 

The band, consisting of Desmond Lambert (vocals/guitar), Gavin Lambert (bass) and Rob Flanagan (drums) first came to attention of the music press with their 2007 debut album, ‘Silence Will Kill You’. The album comprised of some punchy, potent pop-rock, produced by Grammy Award winner Rik Simpson (who notably worked on Coldplay’s Viva La Vida album with Brian Eno) and Mike Pelanconi (Lily Allen, Graham Coxon). This album was nominated for XFM Album of the Year 2007, while an unreleased early demo of 'How To Start A Revolution' became a feature of the international trailer to the Hollywood movie 'Kick-Ass', Matthew Vaughn’s blockbuster starring Nicolas Cage.
