With her flawlessly untamed hair draping down an intricately patterned coat, the crowd turned silent at our winter showcase last Thursday the moment an effortlessly beautiful Miss Velvet took the stage. Though unsure of what to expect, I will say I was completely shocked with what happened next: an unassumingly deep roar ripped from her lips and through the microphone — the voice of someone you’d characterize as twice her size. Her stage presence matched this larger-than-life persona, dancing from side to side with thrusting hips and lunging legs. I was totally engaged throughout, mesmerized by her sound and her energy. Girl crush doesn’t even begin to cover it.

[REVIEW] Winter Showcase – City of the Sun

City of the Sun took things from 0 to 100 real quick last night at our first showcase of 2015. You’ve honestly never heard a crowd coo like this before. The room was filled full with pretty girls, their eyes starry and hearts reaching for the beautiful boys on stage. And you certainly couldn’t blame them, they had every reason to be feeling that way. John Pita, Avi Snow and Zach Para really have it figured out. The charming trio’s sound is down-right powerful. The way their hands move on their instruments, the way their bodies move to the beat… they define experiential music. You hear vocals even though none are being sung. With two guitars, a box and bells, these boys — excuse me, men — have reinvented the acoustic music wheel.
