Two Steve\u2019s and a James make up the current iteration of Velour. Stick around to the end of the episode to hear how the \u201csecond\u201d Steve got the nickname \u201cSteph\u201d and \u201cAstro!\u201d Steve (not Steph) resurrected the name "Velour" here in San Diego from an earlier iteration in New Orleans\u2026with these guys. We have TONS of fun with stories, how-to\u2019s, insights, and general banter that keeps the energy up in this episode. The guys share their opinions about the local music scene, which many musicians refer to as \u201cPay-To-Play\u201d and remarking on the \u201cclever\u201d ways venues come up with to avoid paying artists\u2026including Drink Tickets and bar tabs. We recognize their hard work by showcasing three songs from their first EP as a band, \u201cRight on Time for Being Late\u201d 19:06 \u2013 \u201cI Don\u2019t Know Why\u201d 31:23 \u2013 \u201cLate Bloomer\u201d (The EP\u2019s title is in this song) 42:32 \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m A Simple Man\u201d   The Dusty Futon, LLC is focused on providing free tools and exposure to LOCAL and INDEPENDENT artists in the Southern California through networking.
