Some Velvet Morning Reveal Video For New Single 'Don't Think' - Watch Now

Some Velvet Morning release their new single ‘Don’t Think’ on October 31st. The track will be available as a download and also as a 500 limited edition gatefold 7” single, which will all be hand signed by the band. The song is both brooding and anthemic with echoes of Peter Hook’s trebly bass and U2’s ringing guitars.
The three-piece comprises of brothers, Des Lambert (vocals / guitar), Gavin Lambert (Bass) and Rob Flanagan (Drums). The band moniker originates from the Lee Hazlewood / Nancy Sinatra classic song, 'Some Velvet Morning'; in fact Sinatra gave them her nod of approval and was flattered when the band asked permission to use the name.
The video for 'Don't Think' was shot in a sweaty boxing gym at the National Stadium in Bangkok, with the band performing in the ring, as two female Thai boxers fight it out on camera. Want to check it out? Here it is!
The idea for the video came about after they played a show at Rachadmanoen Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, as part of 'Heavyweight Rock The Ring.’
'Don't Think' is taken from Some Velvet Morning's forthcoming album due to be released in Spring 2012. They will be extensively touring the UK to coincide with the single release (initial UK south and south east dates below – more to follow):
