In this episode of the The Vinyl Detroit Podcast, Brian spoke with Sarah, Brian and Kelly of Velocity Girl in one of the finest episodes of this podcast.

Amid a flurry of activity by the band, Velocity Girl took time to speak about the band’s early years, writing and recording and the current resurgence of 90s independent music.

Kelly, Brian and Sarah share their experiences going from the fledgeling early years on Slumberland Records to their very smart jump to the iconic Sub Pop. There was no indie band bigger and more important than Velocity Girl. Emerging from the late 80s DC scene, Velocity Girl achieved greatness which included a number of singles, 3 LPs and a track on the platinum Clueless soundtrack.

Finding influences as diverse as shoegaze, Creation Records, Sarah Records and Flying Nun, the band was eventually signed to iconic Sub Pop at a time when grunge was at the forefront. Brian, Kelly and Sarah shared their recording and production experiences including their stay at Steve Albini’s house during the mixing of Copacetic! They even recalled a funny story about Fugazi’s carrots…

The band shared some very exciting news of upcoming Velocity Girl releases and shows including a sold-out performance at the Bowery Ballroom in New York. Episode 29 featuring Velocity Girl was a special conversation with the band discussing the career and recordings of one of the most important indie bands of the 90s.
