about the band.

velvet crayon is a one manned, more koala based, psychedelic garage-punk noise making persona/band fronted by erik paluszak. on stage, erik leads a fuzzed out orchestra of electric guitars, synths, drum machines & vocals (think the flaming lips meets the wipers with a dash of the kinks).

“velvet crayon was born out of a guitar feedback induced union of lust and mistrust between a wandering space monkey sailor on acid and an earth woman after she had been lost for fifteen years on her way to woodstock. with ears corrupted by bands of gypsys, a heart lost in a rainy northwestern neverland and an imagination intoxicated by summers of surreality, velvet crayon howls out a multicolored aural confetti soaked in liquid memes.” (gary maglary, 2011).

so far velvet crayon has released 2 full length albums (“self titled” & “velvet crayon”), 3 ep’s (“halloween weekend”, “potatoes & pickles” & “room 1227b, silverstein”) and a 3.5” single (“that’s the way girls are”). at any given moment velvet crayon is working on several new projects & playing shows around the philadelphia / tri-state area.
