Steve (not Steph) resurrected the name "Velour" here in San Diego from an earlier iteration in New Orleans…with these guys.

The guys share their opinions about the local music scene, which many musicians refer to as “Pay-To-Play” and remarking on the “clever” ways venues come up with to avoid paying artists…including Drink Tickets and bar tabs. We recognize their hard work by showcasing three songs from their first EP as a band, “Right on Time for Being Late

19:06 – “I Don’t Know Why”
31:23 – “Late Bloomer” (The EP’s title is in this song)
42:32 – “I’m A Simple Man
