Though relatively unknown, 'Velociraptor' is one of Brisbane's best live bands and were recognised for that fact when they were selected to perform on the first Club NME tour along with Philadelphia Grand Jury, Yacht Club DJ’s, Purple Sneakers DJ’s, and Andy Rourke.
The band originally emerged as a three piece in late 2008 but continued to grow, with the bands website citing as many as 11 band members.
The resulting chaos has created not only great live show, but a sound reminiscent of 60's garage pop only supported by an orchestra worth of guitars and extensive group vocals.
Legendary music journalist Everett True had this to say about Velociraptor;
"What's incredible is how coherent the chaos and screaming and shimmying sounds. Their MySpace page - fine as the songs are - really doesn't do the live experience justice. It's like the Mary Chain given a MASSIVE humour injection and several decent songs. It's like Shindig brought to life right in front of your disbelieving eyes. It's pure 60s and it's MASSIVE."
