Former Lead Vocalist for Necktie Social Joins Black Velvet Deluxe

Dec. 28, 2009 - PRLog -- Former lead vocalist for Necktie Social, Carlos Castenada, has joined Black Velvet Deluxe; the hot new rock band out of L.A.  With his voice as smooth as a bottle of Jack on one song and gritty-raw on the next, Carlos is one of those rare rock n roll singers who is as admired by the men as he is adored by the ladies.

“I signed on with this project as soon as I had the opportunity,” said Castenada.  “I love the band’s goal, which is to create music reminiscent of the great, gritty rock music of the early 80s. A lot of bands today are using technology in an effort to create that sound. We’re pure rockers and want to deliver the sound with our instruments and our voices. We think hard core rock fans appreciate the difference.”

Castenada is reunited in Black Velvet Deluxe with two musicians he played with in previous bands; Josh Lewis, former drummer with Necktie Social and bass player Salvador Acosta III (Sal) who Carlos sang with in a band called Adika.
