Return to a first love: Velodrone brings ‘90s alt rock dreams to fruition

BIO
Formed in late 2018 in Los Angeles, Velodrone is a power-trio rock band that have managed to combine some all-but-forgotten original, unreleased songs from the ‘90s along with newly written material to create a solid album of ‘90s inspired indie/alt rock for a whole new generation of listeners.
Led by Oberlin Conservatory grad Marisa Dewa, “This all started when I stumbled upon some old cassettes of demos that I had done with a previous band of mine from the late ‘90s. It sparked something inside of me and made me want to play again. I couldn’t resist that pull—once a musician, always a musician.”
​
Dewa recruited guitarist Danielle Caseñas who taught herself how to play bass, along with Zachary Bernstein, a writer and composer of musical comedy who was looking for another outlet to play the drums.
They’ve since gained a local following playing shows in and around the Los Angeles area (pre-Covid) and their shoegaze-inspired, distortion-powered rock songs are inspired by The Breeders, Lush, My Bloody Valentine and Hole.
