Bio
What began as a side-project of the backing singer and multi-instrumentalist of Alice Room, Katie Malco and My First Tooth, has now evolved into something much more tangible. Velvet Engine, the brainchild of Latino Northamptonian San-D Godoy, emerged enthusiastically into our lives and our hearts at the start of 2008, touring the lower UK on and off throughout the year. She went on to Australia travelling and playing gigs around the country for a year expanding her fanbase. Velvet Engine, the brainchild of Latino Northamptonian San-D Godoy, emerged enthusiastically into our lives and our hearts at the start of 2008 as a solo act. After numerous positive reviews, tours and radio airplay, she has introduced new band member Matt Philpotts in 2011 and 20th July 2012 have released their long-awaited debut release 'Glimpse Of The Sun', a collection of songs which have been described as "Yearning Pop Folk, with a sprightly but reflective soul". "Counting Laura Marling, Howling Bells, PJ Harvey and Fleet Foxes amongst their many influences We can expect great things from this new breed of heart-warming pop folk music and Velvet Engine will be sure to drive it in the right direction with their catalogue of honest yet timid and catchy songs." "a record filled with romance and heartache alike. Crystalline vocals, mellow guitars and glittering glockenspiels feature throughout from the innocence of Another Colour and Two Winters In A Row to Like A Scar's rootsy sorrow - two great live performers captured on record. The EP rarely lacks: each song different enough to retain its grip without shooting itself in the foot by becoming too bland. This is really quite lovely..." - Bedge Music San-D also sings and plays various instruments with Katie Malco www.myspace.com/katiemalcomusic For bookings please contact San-D at velvet_engine@hotmail.co.uk
