The Velvet Teen is an indie rock band from Northern California.. The Velvet Teen was founded by Judah Nagler and Logan Whitehurst as a side project from their other bands, Tin Circus and Little Tin Frog. Judah and Logan recorded the EP Comasynthesis, which had a prominent electronic sound, in 2000. It featured Judah doing most instrumentation and singing alone, although Logan provided live drums for some tracks and sang the song "Penning the Penultimate" himself. In 2001, they were joined by bassist/vocalist Joshua Staples and recorded another EP, The Great Beast February, which had more of an alternative sound.. That year, they caught the eye of Slowdance Records owner, Ezra Caraeff, and were signed to the label. In 2002 they tapped Death Cab for Cutie's guitarist Chris Walla to be the producer for their first full-length album Out of the Fierce Parade. Logan Whitehurst, who was also an accomplished artist, created the etchings used as the album's artwork. Two music videos from the album ("Radiapathy" and "The Prize Fighter") were featured on Subterranean, an MTV2 program....
