Took a week off – sorry not sorry – and of course in that time, the big news dropped that ’90s DC shoegaze/dreampop heroes Velocity Girl were reuniting for the first time in over 20 years to headline the 30th anniversary party for Washington DC club The Black Cat in September. They were a university fave, so I look forward to crowding into a room will my fellow olds and then complaining about how bad our backs hurt afterwards, as well as having a better top Velocity Girl memory than the time guitarist Kelly Riles left a comment on my blog.

I didn’t realize at the time I posted a remastered video for “Audrey’s Eyes” that a similar spit and polish had been done on the clip for “Sorry Again”, the lead track from 1994’s Simpatico! and my own introduction to the band. I don’t think I’ve seen it in like 25 years, and probably only then as a crappy low-res RealVideo clip so… yay! Velocity Girl!
