When it’s all sizzling and smoking like this, the namby pamby dalliances of drum machines, vocoders and dance remixes suddenly seem a ludicrous diversion from the One True Way that is Rock N Roll. [Venue 2009]
As well as everything else they've got going for them (tight, focused band, compelling frontman, superb whisky-soaked vocals and fantastic blues-rock tunes) they're a prolific bunch, so there's never any danger of seeing them run through the same set that you might have heard a few months earlier.

The JEVE are recording their new record "Modern Love" at Toybox Studios Bristol this July 2009.

Hi. I don't think Black Velvet is on sale in Bristol at the mo. I have a contributor there though! I ought to get her to sell some at gigs or something. LOL.
We thank you for the add. We’re just a small band, but we’d be delighted if you listened to our Garage Rock songs and you sent us any kind of comment!! If u couldn’t we’ll be happy if you just let this comment be shown, so that ur fans & friends get to know us. ☠
Last Saturday I was in Norwich, and I went to see a band called 'Health'. One of the support acts was a guy from Denver, Colorado, calling himself 'pictureplane'. He was a solo act using keyboards, effects pedals on his voice etc., like an angry Kid Carpet.
Anyway, the point is, he really, really, REALLY looked like you (even down to the style and length of his sideburns). Like you could be twins or something. When we walked into the venue (Norwich Arts Centre), he was at the merchandise stall in the foyer, and I thought it was you. It was a little bit disturbing, I can tell you.
