About
Velvet Black
Label: Native Alien Records
Former known as Blue Daven’s Code, this Canadian trio from the defiant Quebec City decided that the changes that their music and style, not to mention the departure of the 4th member and the decision to continue on as a trio, warranted a new name. That name came easily on their trip to the city of angels in February 2015 (LA) for their showcase presentations. The stylish rockers that had an EP released in September of last year called Blue Daven’s Code are now back in Quebec and getting ready to hit the road with female rock legend “Girlschool”, Swedish female act “Crucified Barbara” and fellow Canadians “Old James. The North American tour antecedes the recording of a full length album to be released by Native Alien Records later in 2015.Back in 2011 at the very dawn of the band - then called Blue Daven’s Code – these rockers showed that they were not just another band by finishing in 2nd place at the prestigious Budweiser’s “Omnium du Rock” battle of the bands, beating out 42 bands in the process. Filled with hope and enthusiasm, they continued relentlessly to tour and record until in 2013 the band released the single "Dangerous". They got airplay on major radios in Canada, such as CFWF (Regina, SK), CIKR (Kingston, ON), CJRX (Lethbridge, AB), CKMH (Medicine Hat, AB) and were a featured on the notorious ‘New Rock Nation’ show.
The band takes their work quite serious and after the release of their latest EP in Sept. 2014, a beautiful video of “Standing” filmed by 35MM productions and featured on YouTube was released. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kas7_oC1eM). The video has had a great reception by the fans and media, having over 6,000 views in just a few months. Two othe videos followed with an acoustic version of “Trouble in Paradise” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpVYY8RW8xQ), and more recently a new song that has not been released yet, “Rise and Shine” (https://youtu.be/qv3eQVBEyXo) featuring frontman Gee playing the harmonica on a very bluesy acoustic version of the song. Sit tight because this is just the beginning for Velvet Black!
