WHILE THE THREE MEMBERS OF THE VELVET TEEN MAKE THEIR HOME IN SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA, THEIR HEARTS LIE IN TOKYO, JAPAN. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER THAN WITH THE BAND'S NEW 3-SONG EP, 'GYZMKID', WHICH FEATURES THE FIRST SINGLE FROM THEIR NEW ALBUM, 'CUM LAUDE', DUE OUT IN JULY ON SLOWDANCE RECORDS. ALTHOUGH THE BAND'S SOARING INDIE-POP STYLE HAS WON THEM MUCH ACCLAIM IN THE USA, IT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THEIR POPULARITY OVERSEAS. 'GYZMKID' SHOWCASES A NEW MATURE SOUND FOR THE BAND AS THEY STILL CLING TIGHT TO THEIR STRONG INDIE ROOTS, BUT CONFIDENTLY SURROUND THEMSELVES WITH EXPANSIVE DIGITAL ELEMENTS. THE VELVET TEEN PLAYED A STORMING HEADLINE SLOT AT THIS YEAR'S SXSW AND HAVE TOURED WITH DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, JIMMY EAT WORLD, AND CURSIVE.
