Velocity Girl: Audrey’s Eyes
It’s surprising how much youthful nostalgia lives on YouTube. Velocity Girl were a modestly successful DC indie rock band in the mid-1990’s, but legendary around these parts in those days. I was recently at someone’s house and Archie Moore, who was Velocity Girl’s guitar player, was there. It was a bit weird.
I remember walking around the University of Maryland campus, listening to Velocity Girl’s “Copacetic” LP on my brick-heavy “portable” CD player. They weren’t my favorite band by any stretch of the imagination, but I liked them. Their music holds up surprisingly well, too. One of the few bands I liked back then that I’ve never seen live.
