I can’t prove it, but I think that maybe Mother Nature decided that she wanted Seattle-based Velella Velella to feel at home in Cincinnati. After a series of days that almost felt like summer, by the time VV rolled into the Lounge, it was grey, dreary, and cold outside.

It’s a good thing that this is a band that travels with a lot of energy and even more equipment. The studio filled up with more cool instruments, gadgets, and cables than you could imagine. Once they start playing, Velella Velella create the kind of indie dance jams that could melt the polar ice caps.

After you listen to this session, you should make it your mission to see this band live at any cost. Seattle residents will be able to catch them at the Capitol Hill Block Party and the Bumbershoot festival this summer. No matter where you are, you can enjoy this excellent set of tunes comprised mostly of cuts from the Flight Cub EP.
