LISTEN: Velcro – ‘Bottle shop’

Velcro has a refreshed lineup. Joining Curtis (Velcro) is the lovely Ashley Bundang (Pencil, Zone Out) on Keyboards and Zachary Schneider (Full Ugly, Great Outdoors – dude responsible for this video) on bass. This is their new single ‘Bottle Shop’ packaged with B-side ‘Morning After Party’.

Word on the email is that Velcro are recording a debut long player very soon, which will be interesting as previous releases have been short and immediate EP’s. By that I mean, a straightforward idea or theme rehearsed, recorded, and released. You wouldn’t put two of their EP’s on one record as it would be quite a discordant experience. Of course it will be a challenge to create a full length record but I suspect the answer is in the lineup change. There is a unique creative community around Osbourne St and if they manage to produce something as honest as a previous Velcro EP; it’ll be bloody good.

The bass line is really thick on ‘Bottle Shop’ and Bundang brings a lightness that caresses Curtis’ melody into a lovely two-minute slice of pop. Velcro are launching ‘Bottle Shop’ on the 7th of April at The Workers Club, with supports from Ciggie Witch, King Tears Mortuary & A Man Called Son. Download the single for a smile.
