National Velvet (band)
National Velvet are a Canadian goth rock band, popular in the 1980s and 1990s.
The band members have included vocalist Maria Del Mar, guitarist Mark Crossley, guitarist Tim Welch, bassist Mark Storm, saxophonist Chris Weiss and drummer Garry Flint.
The band came together after a chance meeting between Del Mar and Storm in an alley during a party in Toronto, Ontario; that initial meeting was actually an argument about musical taste, because Storm was a fan of gothic rock bands such as Bauhaus, while del Mar was into Spanish classical music, Motown, swing music and punk rock.
Maria del Mar worked the coat check at Toronto nightclub The Diamond, while Tim Welch was the lighting technician there.
Six months later, they released a self-titled independent EP, before signing to Intrepid Records in 1987.
Their self-titled debut album was released in 1988, and spawned the radio single "Flesh Under Skin".
In 1989, their single and video for "68 Hours" garnered them a CASBY Award.
Their follow-up album, "Courage" was recorded in England with producer Zeus B. Held, and was released in 1990.
The album was supported by a cross-Canada tour, and gave the band further radio airplay for the singles "Shine On" and "Sex Gorilla".
(The latter title was a band in-joke.
The song had actually been written as "Sarsparilla", but the fans kept misunderstanding the lyrics, so the band relented and retitled the song.)
"Sex Gorilla" also led to a fan tradition of throwing bananas at the stage during their shows.
The band subsequently left Capitol Records, and released their third and final album "Wildseed" in 1995 on the independent label Iron Music.
Despite frequent confusion, Del Mar is not the same person as
television actress Maria del Mar. She has continued to work in the Toronto music scene, including gigs with Classic Albums Live and with the Rolling Stones tribute band Midnight Ramblers.
Storm was reported missing in November 2002.
The following June, his body was found in Lake Ontario.
The band has performed periodically, including shows at Toronto's Bovine Sex Club in 2011 and 2012, and continue to perform at select venues.

The Lonely Boys
The Lonely Boys( in Swedish, ” De ensamma pojkarna ”) is a fiction book by Swedish author Mats Olsson about a young rhythm'n' pop band from the south of Sweden in 1965.
Per Gessle( of Roxette fame) was asked by Mats Olsson to write a soundtrack to follow the book, and so the band" The Lonely Boys" came into existence and the debut album by this 1965 fictitious band was released in December 1995.
The members of the band consisted of members from the two swedish popbands Wilmer X( Hellberg and Holst) and Gyllene Tider( Gessle, Persson and Andersson).
The band went to great lengths to make the sound authentic 1960s; from the lyrical content( Why did Adam have to fall in love with Eve) to the authentic instruments and amplifiers used in the recording process.
The album is set out as two sides of an LP( although it was available on a promotional LP in Sweden), including crackles of the needle on the turntable and a pause in between the two sides as the record is turned over.
