this is an entirely self-serving post, brought to you by my frenzied excitement for the potential new Velvet Teen album. a few days ago they played their first show in a year (at an arcade no less, in a room painted with balloons and cupcakes and "Happy Birthday" streamers) with Judah Nagler in top form and Josh Staples dutifully at his side once more. Josh's presence is notable because after the release of Cum Laude! in 2006, he left the Velvet Teen to focus on his own band with his wife, the fantastic New Trust. however, he recently rejoined, and this show marked his triumphant return. this was also TVT's first show as a four-piece rather than a trio. I know, it's all so new and exciting.
TVT debuted some new songs during that set, one of which was particularly awesome and badass and makes me fart sparkles. some internet nerd captured all of this gloriousness on video and uploaded it to youtube, which means now it's time for me to share it with you. this video prominently features terrible lighting, poor audio, and Judah & Josh yelling whoa-oh! at each other. fantastic.
and as a bonus, here is an awesome clip of the New Trust performing at the same show, but with pretty acoustic guitars and annoying mic feedback. also Josh's beard? impeccable.
