Murky Depths & Velvet Star Over the Moon

Murky Depths and Velvet Star play Moon bar at the end of June.

Stripped down blues rock with a sprinkling of metal and whimsy thrown in for good measure. Hailing out of Porirua and with a wealth of experience between them Murky Depths is a three-piece blues rock band with a foot well and truly lodged in the 70’s but a soul that’s coloured by 80’s and 90’s guitar bands. Think stadium rock guitars, thumping bass and silky coffee-tinged vocals backed by a solid rhythm section.


Velvet Star? it's like classic rocks wild cousin shagged a funk band, dabbled in reggae and discovered alien sounds in space. It's spawn descended to the South Seas, became a starfish and attacked Karl Jensen while he snorkelled at Island Bay.
A band was born.
