The Black Velvets were a rock band from Liverpool, England. The band formed in 2003 and split up in August 2007 after releasing one album. ==History== The Black Velvets were formed in 2003 by guitarist Robbie Ross, drummer Nick Kilroe, and cousins Dave Dutton (bass guitar) and Paul Carden (vocals). The band counted Liam Gallagher as a fan, and he was present when the band joined Vertigo Records, but refused to sign as a witness when the band signed their contract.〔Varma, Anuji (2005) "Kiss & Tell : TIPPING THE Black Velvets", ''Sunday Mercury'', 20 March 2005〕 They also signed with Sanctuary Management. The band's debut single, "Get On Your Life" was released in November 2004. In 2005, The Black Velvets co-headlined the second Nokia 'New School of Rock' tour, together with The Glitterati and Hurricane Party.〔"Brit rock scene needs bit of riff; Black Velvets set to crack Top 40", ''Sunday Mail'', 13 March 2005〕 2005 saw the release of further singles: "3345" (which gave them their biggest chart hit, with a number 34 placing in the UK Singles Chart),〔 "Glamstar", and "Once in a While", and also saw the release of the band's self-titled debut album. To coincide with the album's release, the band played at The Cavern in Liverpool, where they were awarded the honour of their own signed brick in the wall of the club.〔"(Black Velvets to get Liverpool music honour )", ''NME'', 25 August 2005, retrieved 2010-04-14〕 Extensive touring followed.

The song "Get on Your Life" was used in the TV series ''Sugar Rush'' and included on the associated soundtrack album. After the band split up in 2007, Carden and Dutton performed in 'The Marvellous Medicine Band', as well as 'The Dave Dutton Blues Explosion'. In 2013, Dave Dutton formed a new band called 'Kingdom'.
