About

METRO VELOUR
Band members are Sebastian Smith, an old rocker born in London in1943 . Sebastian was active in the Bristol (UK) rock scene in the 60s (The Granary) and helped design and build the iconic stage at the 100 Club, Oxford Street upon which so many notorious bands have strutted their stuff. He writes the music and lyrics and is the vocalist in the band. Louis Chevallier is a crazy French rock guitarist who attended Rock School in London and met Seb by chance in France in a music store. Other members are J.B. Caramellino on drums, also a sound engineer and Nico Pasqual on Bass. The first album “Post Punk Junkie” came out in January 2017 with a bonus track including Jim McCarty from the Yardbirds on drums. The second album “Hey You” came out in April 2018. It was recorded at Ronni Le Tekro’s (TNT) Studio Studio in Norway. The band have been playing festivals, Rock venues, Tattoo conventions, bars and clubs in Europe. American and UK online rock magazines and French radio stations have put us in the genre of true rock roots, comparing us with The Ramones, The Stooges and The New York Dolls. We put on a frenetic, eclectic theatrical show which guarantees audience participation.
