- (This page is about the British band. For the American techno artist of the same name, see Velocette(2)).
Velocette was a British indie rock band formed in 1997 in North London by four ex-members (Jaxx Coombes, Phil Sutton, Sam Pluck, Sarah Bleach) of Comet Gain (and indeed some early Velocette songs including "Get Yourself Together", "Don't Care" and "Strip Polka" were originally recorded for Comet Gain's unreleased second album). The band failed to break through to the mainstream, but were darlings of the NME and Melody Maker, especially in their early days.
Links to Peel[]
Peel was keen on Comet Gain who did two sessions for his shows and when some of their members joined Velocette, he played their single, 'Get Yourself Together' on his radio programmes including a session they recorded for his show in 1997.
