Velvet Trip

Velvet Trip is the Psychedelic music project of Zeppelin Hamilton & Clayton Allen, born and imagined on Gadigal Country, Sydney Australia. The duo began after a serendipitous encounter at an inner-west house party with a mutual love of Blues music. Early collaborations honored these shared influences and have since evolved. The pair have individually performed and written alongside hard hitters like Julia Jacklin, Dan Sultan, Faye Webster, and Emily Wurramarra, all the while developing Velvet Trip. Velvet Trip have shared their latest offering ‘Silly Boy’, a blend of jangly guitars, swirling synths, driving bass, and hard-hitting beats. This is the third single from their forthcoming debut ‘Harmony Blooms’, slated for release in early 2024. In the wake of two single releases, Velvet Trip was featured as “ones to watch” in NY Times (T Mag) and RUSSH. Lead singer Zeppelin Hamilton was also recently selected to be part of Mushroom Groups’ ‘First Nations Pathway Program’ for 2023 and is currently undertaking a mentorship with the likes of Mo’Ju and Tasmin Keith. Velvet Trip also grabbed the attention of Daft Punk collaborators, Parcels and toured as their main support act for their entire run of sold-out Australian shows. Velvet Trip performed at iconic venues such as The Enmore, The Forum and The Tivoli. Velvet Trip also notably performed at the Sydney Opera House alongside Wiradjuri poet Jazz Money and was featured on the ABC program ‘Going Country’ with Emily Wurramara. Velvet Trip’s forthcoming album Harmony Blooms is a technicolor experience with nods to Air, Khruangbin, Tame Impala, Parcels, and Temples. Velvet Trip is an ever-evolving entity moving in unexpected directions. Take a trip.
