BAND BIO
The band was formed off the back of successes with our individual previous bands. With many gigs under our belts independently, as a unit we have now combined our experiences to produce Velour Fog, electrifying rock band from Hertfordshire. A Schwarzenegger of hard rock serving you an ass-whoopin of stone cold riffs, tasty licks, a smackdown of beats, and ball-dropping bass. Taking inspiration from 80s and 90s acts such as Guns N Roses, Primus, Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Alice in Chains and Ratt we are England’s answer to a generation just looking to have a good time through the power of rock. Our sound hits harder than a steel chair shot. The band is made up of drummer ‘Chainsaw Ali’ – a student of the pulse of the universe and its rhythmsJake, lead guitarist, vocals and songwriter extraordinaire known as ‘the fastest gun in the West’ with sick licks and flowing fingers gliding effortlessly like a panther in the ‘fog’.‘Hercules’, formerly known as Marshall, rhythm guitar and vocals, badass leather wearing college drop-out with spellbinding stage moves.Naois- ‘finger plucking bassist, sultry Irish looks and surprising stage get up’s, at home in the spellbinding purple interior of the ‘Velour Fog’.
