About

A blend of psychedelic sweeping synths, indie-based guitar melodies and full of disco flavour – transcending genres and transporting minds.

VELVET SHAKES are a four piece band, formed in Manchester in June of 2018. Their relentless gigging at venues in and around Manchester and further afield in Leeds and Newcastle has certainly paid off, landing themselves a live session for the BBC in November 2018.

Since then the band have done live performances and interviews with the likes of MCR Live and Amazing Radio, showcasing their acoustic talents and natural charisma in front of the mic. A busy year is on the cards, with festivals confirmed and enough gigs to SHAKE a stick at; most recently at Now Wave’s new home in Manchester YES.
