We will be making a radio appearance in Vilnius earlier that day, and most probably joining the Street Music Day events as well. Stay tuned for updates and see you on May 19!

THE VELVET SUPERNOVA uzstāsies Rīgas 1. Rokkafejnīcā

“The Velvet Supernova” ir alternatīvā roka grupa no Rīgas, ko 2010.gadā dibināja vokālists Jēcis Zemzaris un ģitārists Mārtiņš Rudzītis. Grupu tās neilgajā pastāvēšanas laikā daudzi jau nodēvējuši par vienu no daudzsološākajiem jaunajiem rokmūzikas projektiem Baltijas valstīs. Savā mūzikā grupa apvieno labākās alternatīvā roka vērtības, devu elektroniskās mūzikas elementu un rokmūzikai retāk raksturīgu telpisko plašumu. Grupu vislabāk raksturo tās emocijām bagātie un enerģiskie koncerti, kas, iznākot tikai diviem singliem, jau ir pulcējuši ievērojamu klausītāju pulku.

30.marta koncertā Rīgas 1. Rokkafejnīcā “The Velvet Supernova” pirmatskaņos dziesmu “Sunshine” – drīzumā iznākošo trešo singlu no grupas topošā debijas albuma.

“Galaxy Bosons” – visaptverošs muzikāls kosmoss, skaņu dinamika un enerģija. Grupa izpilda spilgtu, tiešām kvalitatīvu electronic-rock, nebaidoties eksperimentēt un radīt jaunas nianses elektroniskajā mūzikā.

Koncerta sākums 23:00. Reiterna nams, Vecrīga, Mārstaļu iela 2/4.

SUPERNOVA RĪGĀ 7. JANVĀRĪ!

Sestdien, 7.janvārī, Rīgas klubā “Melnā Piektdiena” uzstāsies alternatīvā roka grupas “The Velvet Supernova” un “Cacophonics”. Deviņus pastāvēšanas gadus tikko atzīmējušos “Cacophonics” var dēvēt par Latvijas alternatīvā roka veterāniem. Grupa ir aktīvi koncertējusi gan Latvijā, gan ārpus tās. “The Velvet Supernova” pastāv mazāk kā gadu, taču grupas kontā jau ir divi radiosingli un vairāki veiksmīgi koncerti Latvijas pilsētās. Abi grupas singli pirmatskaņoti “Radio 101” ēterā un guvuši lielu klausītāju un kritiķu atzinību.

Koncertā uzstāsies arī grupas “Otherway” un “Lenora”. Kā īpašais viesis ar drum’n'bass/dubstep/ragga-jungle setu 7.janvārī uzstāsies DJ Dreda. Pasākumu grupas sola daudzpusīgu un pārsteigumiem bagātu, vien piebilstot, ka “7.janvāris solās būt ne tikai pirmais, bet arī viens no svarīgākajiem datumiem Latvijas rokmūzikā 2012. gadā.”

The Velvet Supernova is an alternative rock band from Riga, Latvia. The band was formed in 2010 by lead singer Jecis Zemzaris and guitarist Martinš Rudzitis. Driven by strong musicianship, great vision and even greater ambition, The Velvet Supernova present a tempting combo of alternative rock bombast, anthemic melodies, a dash of electonica and contrasting acoustic ambience. The band can be best characterised when experiencing their energetic performances and all-involving appeal to performing music.

Before the formation of The Velvet Supernova, nearly all members of the band have received academic education in the best Latvian music colleges, studying music composition, production and their instruments as well, bringing lots of knowledge and musical ability to the band. The band’s biggest virtue is the ability to compose complex and challenging music in an alternative rock frame aesthetically.

2011 marks the band’s radio debut with the single “(Vive La) Resistance”. The song received massive positive feedback in Latvia and carved a solid local fanbase for the band. Their second single, “The Distance”, brought the band more local airplay, thus introducing new fans to the band’s music. Both songs premiered on “Radio 101”, the number one alternative radio station in Latvia. On January 7 The Velvet Supernova played their first headlining show at “Black Friday”, one of the biggest live venues in the country. A music video for “The Distance” was released on January 12.

The band are currently performing live and recording for their debut album. A short film for the band’s first single, “(Vive La) Resistance” is in the works, involving their creative fans in the filming process as well.

"The Distance"
(K. Steinmanis/J. Zemzaris)

I won’t take another breath from anyone
Share kisses and bite off tongues
while bathing in champagne
Until the stars align and a firefly lights my way
My heart’s at home, ready for your arrival

Chorus:
I’m the distance between you and me
I’ll say forever when you wanna be
Lost in a second and fulfilling your dreams
Taken further and further into the unknown

I promised you my one last breath
and now it’s hard to breathe
I lost all sense in a lie I let myself believe
Prepare for thunder girl, prepare for pouring rain
We gotta let our love burn down
In the name of destiny and change

Chorus

Lost without that touch you’ll still be somewhere
But without that simple touch
There’s nothing to believe in

Chorus

I’m taking you down, down, down
Like water and blood

"(Vive La) Resistance"

Show me your face
Show me your dreams
Show me anything so I can see what you need
I'll be your friend, your enemy
The voice in your head and the demon in your bed
Repair your wings before you fly
Don't you think we should've made it by now
Taken this life for granted and torn it apart

The different, the strange
With different blood in vein
We stand alone

I say we're done dying on our own
When retribution comes all riots turn to stone
To embrace a life of compromise on one way streets
Can you see the shadows hanging over our lives
Taking our doubts for granted
And tearing apart what we could be

The different, the strange
With different blood in vein
We stand alone
The prophets of change
The resistance and rage
We stand alone

See the shadows hanging over our lives
and tear them apart

The different, the strange
With different blood in vein
No longer alone
The prophets of change
The resistance and rage
No longer alone
