the velocet



upon arrival back in DC from petrov's trip, petrov dropped his luggage off and headed over to the Red and Black on H St NE, to catch up with the crew. When the crew arrived, shortly after petrov's arrival, it was found the crew was much larger than usual. upon asking what the occasion was, he was told that The Velocet was playing, who have some connection to the crew. Sounded good to petrov.

Petrov has heard the velocet on several occasions, but wouldn't have been able to picked them out. So upstairs everyone went and the velocet came on. The band is a local NYC band, so the crowd didn't bedazzle the mind, but it was good as the room wasn't much larger than petrov's house (which is a small bunnyhole). Unfortunately petrov thinks the combination of a small, not crowded room did not accurately absorb enough sound for the volume, which was of issue as being simply too loud. but despite this petrov found the band to be well rehearsed and certainly capable of gaining momentum in the future. Petrov enjoyed the song Concertina the most.
