Influences
If we were hipsters we'd say something like "We don't listen to anything other than Klezmer music and the sound of two rusty tin cans scraping together. All our music is fresh and completely original because we live in a vacuum." Actually I like both those things too but that's beside the point. I don't know who we sound like, but who really cares ............This is just a list of bands we admire and / or appreciate.............. The Pixies/Frank Black/The Breeders, My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, Dinosaur Jr, the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Smiths, Guided By Voices, Ride, Neutral Milk Hotel, Ride, Archers of Loaf, The Cars, Husker Du/Sugar/Bob Mould, Fugazi, The Lemonheads...
"Veluxe - a band that embodies the term "indie" - followed with its dense, poppy tension-and-release rock. Here is a band that has no pretense or outward posturing in the cool department. Consequently, it is infinitely cooler than bands that think they are." - Frank DeBlase, City News-Weekly, Rochester, NY 10/8/08
“The sound is tight and jangly indie rock, with layers of guitars” - Jeff Spevak, Democrat & Chronicle, Rochester, NY
“What's Keeping You is just the right amount of everything that makes the band what it is; loose melodic structure, ample dynamics, a dash of dream, and an underlying, seething intensity.” - Frank DeBlase, City News-Weekly, Rochester, NY
“If melodic indie rock is more your thing, then Veluxe is the band for you! The energetic four-piece has put together a commendable effort that brings to mind alternative heroes like Elvis Costello, Goo Goo Dolls (the early stuff), Lemonheads and Joe Jackson. Veluxe write some catchy and quite memorable tunes.” - Michelle Picardo, Freetime Magazine, Rochester, NY.

great show last night. as a musician, it was inspiring. double the smelly stickers for daniels. the drumming was incredible. i'm up for a tribute show just for "blood and iron". what a majestic song.
Thanks for the Add guys. How cool was that when Molly Gunner was playing and you asked who it was! Who knew! Another HF-L Connection! Keep rockin, you guys are way cool and great tunes!
Amazing performance this morning! So let me get this straight...you guys are so cool (which I already knew)...BUT...you'don't try to be cool you just ARE. So, that makes you even COOLER. So now...if you consciously avoid being cool just to be even cooler (which may not be possible) would that change your level of coolness at all?? You guys really rocked on 98.9, I enjoyed it.
