VELVET REVOLVER Performs In Argentina; Video Available

April 24, 2007

Video footage of VELVET REVOLVER performing on April 15, 2007 at the Estadio Pepsi Music in Buenos Aires, Argentina has been posted online at this location. The songs featured in the video are as follows:

01. Do It For The Kids
02. Let It Roll
03. Suckertrain Blues
04. Crackerman
05. Fall To Pieces
06. It's So Easy
07. She Builds Quick Machines

VELVET REVOLVER's second album "Libertad", is scheduled for release July 3 on RCA Records. It will be preceded by the track "She Builds Quick Machines".

"'Libertad' has soul," singer Scott Weiland stated in a press release. "What we're trying to say on a musical and lyrical level is clearer this time. The songs may have started out being very personal but they took on a more universal truth as they were nurtured by the five-headed beast that is VELVET REVOLVER."

"The songs took on a life of their own in pursuit of groove," continued Weiland. "When it was nearly done, we realized the idea of freedom kept coming up. Serendipity hit when Duff came to a session wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with 'Libertad' and Slash found a coin struck with 'Libertad'. It all added up to naming the album 'Libertad', which is Spanish for freedom."

Produced by Brendan O'Brien, "Libertad" is the follow-up to "Contraband", VR's debut album, released in June 2004, which earned three million in sales worldwide, debuted on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart at #1 and was awarded a Grammy for the lead track, "Slither".

"O'Brien really helped us challenge ourselves on a musical level," explained Weiland. "'Libertad' definitely rocks, but there are a lot more textures and everyone really raised the bar on their skills. It just goes places the first album didn't go."
