Codeine Velvet Club, the sensational new band featuring chief Fratelli Jon Lawler and Glasgow chanteuse Lou Hickey, will re-release the first song they wrote together as a single on April 5th.
Entitled “Vanity Kills” it's a swaying, jazzy, big-band duet, tinged with noir-ish menace and shades of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's waspish 1960s guy-gal duelling.
Codeine Velvet Club is a musical collaboration that celebrates Jon and Lou's shared love of '60s girl-boy duets, dramatic orchestral pop, and dark post-war Hollywood romanticism. Their acclaimed debut album was released just after Christmas.
Codeine Velvet Club's next UK show is at Glasgow's Queen Margaret Union on 7th May.
