The Velveteers return with the first song from their brand new album A Million Knives, out February 14, 2024. Led by tour-de-force frontwoman Demi Demitro, behind dual drummers Baby Pottersmith and Jonny Fig on a conjoined kit, the thirteen song collection finds The Velveteers collaborating with The Black Keys to spotlight their "high-energy scrappy attitude and pure rock and roll" (as hometown alt-weekly, and longtime champions, Westword have deemed them). "They just sound so powerful, they're amazing live, there's nothing like them," added Dan Auerbach.
"Go Fly Away,”"an alt-pop ode to escapism that layers warmer atmospheres with The Velveteers’ signature grit, was co-written and co-produced by Auerbach and Patrick Carney - marking the first time The Black Keys have produced together for another artist.
Demi Demitro created A Million Knives with her bandmates after a particularly grueling stretch of life on the road, as a way to process feeling used and fed up in the face of vulnerability. The album explores the typically-unspoken tolls of navigating a system that’s often less-than-compassionate; especially as a non-binary, queer and female led rock 'n' roll band.
