The VeLMAs - American for Rock

For nearly five years, the Velmas - bassist Todd "Figaro"" Minnick, guitarist Mike "Harvey" Grosshandler and drummer Michael "Bruce" Bruce - have been entertaining upstate New York. The band has become a favorite around Albany and Syracuse, NY, and is gaining popularity throughout the Northeastern U.S.

After writing and performing original music for two years, the Velmas released their debut album, Another Day At School (2002). Since its release, the album has received rave reviews and has opened doors of opportunity for the band. This was followed by Recess (2004), a "double EP" featuring new and unreleased studio tracks, as well as several live tracks. The Velmas are currently working on their second full-length album.

The Velmas are three singers and songwriters with very different musical backgrounds, coming together to create powerful rock music. Their sound is influenced by old-school to modern rock, punk, reggae, and even country and classical. In concert, the Velmas back their music with a playful, high-energy live show, which is the reason why Albany-area "Velmites" keep calling them the Capital Region's Best-Kept Secret (Metroland, 2002 & 2003).
