In only a year since the band's conception, Velveteen Pink has quickly created quite a buzz for themselves. Since winning the Gainesville Battle of the Bands competition in late 2005, the four-piece synthpop group has not only been recognized by mtv, but has enjoyed the privilege of traveling and performing with such nationally acclaimed acts as The Whigs, Family Force 5, World Leader Pretend, and Hot Hot Heat. After gaining the attention of more than four million viewers at mtvu.com, Velveteen Pink has found its way to the ears of listeners around the country and into the Top Five of mtvU's "Best Band on Campus" contest. Surprisingly, their success has occurred without having completed their first full-length album. While the young band has released their self-recorded/produced 5 song EP, Velveteen Pink has depended primarily upon the strength of their live performance. Be on the look-out for their studio debut sometime in 2007.

"in a popular music culture screaming for something to break the mold while remaining palatable, Velveteen Pink is bringing something very exciting to the table."
