Follow on Google News | Black Velvet Deluxe, L.A. Rock Band, Selected As Artist Of The Month By Red Eye Radio NetworkBlack Velvet Deluxe's music first aired on the Red Eye Radio Network on New Years Eve 2009. Now the Red Eye Radio Network has honored Black Velvet Deluxe as their Artist of the Month.
By: Rock Mamma When Nate Beck, lead guitar for Black Velvet Deluxe, received the good news about the selection, he remembered “Norma Jean” was the first to play their music on the air. On New Year’s Eve, 2009, the Red Eye Radio Network debuted My Pride, and they have been playing it every since then. Now that Black Velvet Deluxe has their music being played on over 300 radio stations, including many great indie and college stations, the members of the band will never forget who helped them get their start. Indie radio station The Red Eye Network is totally listener-supported and non-commercial. Basically, they play what they like, and what their listeners want to hear, not what some fat cat behind a six-foot desk in New York City tells them to play, based on the recent numbers. Red Eye Radio is the station that plays the music you actually want to hear. No payola, no big label kickbacks, just great music, and lots of it. The Red Eye Radio Network has been described as a non-stop rock party that you do not want to miss. Lots of indie and classic rock music, some humor and plenty of mayhem. Station Director Norma Lee Rogers, who goes by Norma Jean when on the air, states that the programming runs the gamut from great indie music, some radio improv, on air prank calls, live interviews, and always surprises with some for certain weirdness around every corner. There are often band members and other interesting folks dropping by the studio to be guests on the wild and crazy shows. Spontaneity and good-humored sarcasm are recognized among the station's most commonly noted characteristics. # # # BLACK VELVET DELUXE takes you straight back to rock's pure roots. Great hooks, driving chords & powerful lyrics pay homage to sleaze rock's pioneers. You can hear their music and vote for them to win a record deal with Slash at http://www.YourNextRecord.com and type "Black Velvet Deluxe" in the search box. End
