Velvet Chains Lyrics
Velvet Chains is an American hard rock band based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The band was formed in 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada by Nils Goldschmidt. He recruited the original lineup through an ad he posted on Craigslist. Initially the band would play covers at local bars and clubs, however in 2020 Nils decided to transition into an original band.
The band launched its first album "Icarus" on 24 September 2021. It was released with 10 songs. It features guest appearances by guitarist Richard Fortus from Guns N' Roses, and bassist Jeff Rouse and guitarist Mike Squires, both from Duff McKagan's Loaded. This album was later taken down by the band in 2023.
The band participated in Rock Fest 2022 which was held July 13-16 in Cadott, Wisconsin, in Blue Ridge Rock Festival 2022 which was held September 8-11 in Alton, Virginia and in Summer Breeze Open Air Brasil Festival 2023 which was held April 26-28 in São Paulo, Brazil.
Velvet Chains has also opened for several mainstream acts including Stone Temple Pilots, The Winery Dogs, Saint Asonia, L.A. Guns and Last in Line, among others.
In early 2024 the band went on tour to Brazil with Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, billed as their opening act for their "The River is Rising" tour. The shows were held in Belo Horizonte on January 29, in São Paulo on January 31, in Rio de Janeiro on February 1 and in Porto Alegre on February 4.
