Velocity Girl - Sorry Again

[senorseanwaters]

Such an amazing song. Such a cheesy video. I still love it, though.

[gazerman65]

Is that guy wearing a "Jale" t-shirt?!

[4991evoli]

I still love this song and her voice after all these years!

[QuizGuy66]

Damn this song is 18 years old?!? That is mighty depressing.

[iCtrlz]

5 ppl will always be Sorry, Again...

[fatchino]

120 minutes those were the days ....

[jordanretro1]

This is catchy. I remember seeing this video on 120 minutes back in the day. and again and again and again.

[ivahnsean]

holy shit. i had the biggest crush on the singer. i can see why i did STILL.

[RWed261657]

Would someone please upload "Go Coastal" by Velosity Girl? It is my favorite by them and it is not on here. Thanks!

[bankstatement]

they had their own idea of fashion. 

[viperhotep]

uff da

[viperhotep]

Wonderful song. Fun video. Sarah Shannon is still hotttttttttttt. Too bad nobody makes music of this quality any more.

[R8cknR8lla]

Me like Sound  '90

It's COOL!!!

[SemosBella]

I miss VG! I have many great memories from seeing them live.

[Akatosh86]

90s at their best

[Lilpunkinmonkey]

aw yay, the 90s... I miss this era :)

[loopykid]

15 years later and I'm still in love with Sarah Shannon. Sigh.

[robodoll]

love the VG....please come back :(

[slowdive49441]

Does anyone else absolutely hate this song and this album? I had the first two records pretty much when they came out. For some reason I didn't buy Simpatico (maybe it was this video). Anyhow last summer I ebay'd. When shoegaze turned to britpop almost every good band got bad. This one got really bad.

[halfinfinite]

nope. just you, old-skool.

[slowdive49441]

Well, actually I've heard from a slew of people who think this is rubbish. Not "old-skool", I just think this is incredibly disingenuous.

[benandkasia]

@slowdive49441 I agree this song is on par with having pins and needles in your penis. But similarly I think listening to Slowdive is akin to getting on a 10 hour bus ride to Halifax. Horrid.

[shock1974]

@slowdive49441 I don't hate the song or the album. I bought it when it came out, out of the blue when I asked my trusted indie record store clerk (remember when we had those?) for a recommendation. (Ahh, the days when I had $30 that needed to be spent on CDs no matter what). It was decent little pop record, having 3 or 4 tracks that I really enjoyed. Years and years since I've heard the album as a whole, so it might not have aged well, but I quite enjoyed this last listen to "Sorry Again".

[charliovski]

@slowdive49441 Simpatico was a great album.

[spipper]

There is something fantastic about this song.

[vintagedeath]

velocity girl are so good. simpatico is their finest work.

[ratattack6]

[ams777777]

Perfect. Big difference in sound and direction to copacetic. it's brilliant, but also sad that Copacetic's more experimental and alternative sound was left behind. What a great band they were though, and they look as if they're just goofing around. And is it possible to get a crush on some1 who doesn't exist anymore, ie #sarah circa 1993 lol

[BigLipSmackingSambo]

WTF?

[curiousgemini25]

Nice 90's college vibe

[ColorsBright]

Anyone else hear Sonic Youth's TeenAge Riot?

I really dont care because this SONG RULES!

[favorietemuziek]

Je had gelijk! Was weer een ondoordachte actie van mij als gevolg van een reactie van E.

[DickSauber]

wow, i havent seen this since it came out, feels funny to see it again and realize that my brain remembers a lot of it. back then i would tape 120 minutes every week and watch it over and over till the next episode.

[ColorsBright]

still have those on tape? I am interested :o)

[DickSauber]

no! i don't and it sucks. i used the same tape every week, erasing the previous episode. ive been kicking myself for years for erasing the episode when dean 'the dream' wareham hosted. the tape has one last episode on it, but i dont remember anything particularly interesting being on it. if i had understood how good we had it back then i would have saved everything....

[YourGoodTwin]

I swear a remember a better video for this song. All I can remember is the lead singer riding some carnival ride while singing. But I guess that I was wrong and was in fact mistaken all along.

[johnpriceuk]

maybe that was Hypocrite by Lush? Similar kind of shoegazey female led band. Look it up.

[themiserychic]

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Hypocrite by Lush, like johnpriceuk suggested. The video has the lead singer riding a carousel. :)

[YourGoodTwin]

I think you guys are right, now that I've found the video and watched it. Seems to fit the motif. I must have seen these back to back or something back in the day, haha.

[Dropkickpunk76]

I agree, the 90's for me were one of the most musically interesting eras. Back then there were a lot of bands doing whatever they felt like doing. And like the guy said it was about the music, not caring how you looked or trying to be pigeonholed into a certain type of genre.

[zappawizard]

really, what was with bands dressing like they were at a back yard cook out? I like bands that look like bands. good song though.

[rickzters]

Back when it was about the music, not the fashion, the level of "coolness". Fuck trends, I love this era. Look how they are dressed! Awesome!

[spipper]

@rickzters Im pretty sure it was just as much about trends then as it is now. The hipsters haven't changed, just their style.

[westcoastdoldrums]

@rickzters haha you completely contradicted yourself but im guessing that sarcasm was intended

[mrsmikeymike]

@rickzters

Yeah. Woo-hoo! 1993! We were so much cooler in 1993! You seem to forget, sir, that the way they are dressed WAS the fashion in 1993. This was a very calculated look.

[liquid3600]

@rickzters It was the 90s... It was fashionable to dress like an unemployed slob...

[bijgenaamd]

Had this since 1994 when alternative meant just that. I agree with mark3407 - awesome even w/ flaws. Great voice and TRULY alternative sounds that have not been copied today.

[grezzbop]

i agree

occasionally i hear a little VG in some of Rilo Kiley

[anisfeve]

Amazing! I WANTED this song like 13 years... REALY I love this band!

Que regresen por dios!

AND AGAIN and again AND Aaaah!

Thanks ebutu0y

[mark3407]

they need to do a reunion. this band could've been huge they just lacked a little consistency. I still listen to !Simpatico! all the time

[manicdsgirl]

Oh wow! I completely forgot about this group! I still know every word to this song, though! LOL :)

[Kodachrome]

simply delicious pop...where did it all go?

[backinthaday]

I fell in love with Velocity Girl because of this song. It made it onto nearly every mixtape I made in the 90's!

[thebluecastle]

i love this song♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[nikiwonoto]

where is this band from ? what's the nationality?

what happened to the band?

why they broke-up?

is it because it's indie, and making less amount of money?

[ccfc73]

Velocity Girl were a Washington, DC area band active from 1990-1996. Named after a Primal Scream song, they released 3 albums, Copacetic (1993), !Simpatico! (1994) and Zealous Stars and Gilded Hearts (1996)

The major reason they broke up is because Sarah Shannon (the singer) decided to move to Seattle, while the rest of the band wanted to stay in DC.

Sarah is still based in Seattle, and has put out two solo albums of a more jazz-influenced nature.

[pen4paper]

vg hanggang sa katapusan..

[prschuster]

It's somgs like this that make me realize that pop music really can be catchy & tasty without being lame.

[1brilliantmindwasted]

well this isn't really pop..its just umm alternative x]

but i know what you mean lol

[prschuster]

This is real pop music the way it was always intended to be played. Then Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson came along and redefined pop for the 21st century for musical illiterates who wouldn't know good artistry from stuff that comes out of their butts.

[1brilliantmindwasted]

im sorry but...how is this pop music? i thought pop was just pop that was made for it to be catchy and for people to like it. but i dont think velocity girl were ever that big either...i dont know maybe you're right...i was just sayin'

[prschuster]

This is catchy and I like it. Of course it's "alternative" because you have a general public with no artistic tastes who think the past twenty years of music by Janet Jackson to Jessica Simpson is catchy since it is so bare and devoid of texture that anyone with a tin ear can follow the melody line. The definition of pop has been dumbed down by the corporate music industry.

[betoosoglez]

creo que me he enamorado

[betoosoglez]

viva velocity girl una gran banda de los 90s

betopop

[hippietrucker67]

what a voice...sublime, and somehow so '90s...

[JohnK75136]

Saw VG close down the old 9:30 Club with a New Year's Eve show, before they moved the 9:30 to V Street.

Back in the 90's, DC had a great local music scene--VG, Eddie from Ohio, Last Train Home, and of course the lovely Eva Cassidy.

Sarah put out a solo CD last year that's pretty sweet. "City Morning Song". Check it out.

[artelevisual]

reminds me of an old gilrfirend i had when i was 18 back in the mid 90s!! good ol days/////

takes me in time!!

[tjtjhooker]

Such a cool band. I remember they played a show in my town toward the end of their career. I wanted to go. But I think I was like 12.

[jprkhrst]

great people, brilliant tunes, fun times, wish ya'll could have been there.

[timleery]

ah, the memories...such energy and good vibes...if u never saw them live, u missed out, man

[jools182]

This reminds me of the first time I visited the states

I spent the summer in Ocean City, but on the way out I bought a load of CD's in NY.

This was one of them

Perfect summer soundtrack

Brings back good memories

[scruffyurchin]

I also remember seeing this on 120 minutes here in the UK way back when...I saw them in Hull of all places with Jale (remember them?). Highly recommend playing Simpatico again, its smart.

[doyouwantmytube]

Was that in 1994 - September time? I remember they were billed to play Scunthorpe with 'Done Lying Down' of all bands - and I nearly came in my pants given that I am a fan of both. Unfortunatley the gig was cancelled. Depression soon set in. Scunthorpe was never an easy place to grow up and let downs were hard to take.

[scruffyurchin]

I guess it was as I moved down to London in December 94. It was a split headline with Jale and I recall it was jale headlining that night but to be honest they couldn't top Velocity Girl. It was at the blue lamp?? i think.

I also saw Vic Chesnut around the same time at the Adelphi which is one of the best gigs I've been to, which is kinda odd as coming from York I hardly ever went to Hull as Leeds was just down the road and I was always at the Duchess. Enough waffle I think!

[TuxedoAllure]

Velocity Girl rocked on all the albums i am [copaceitc(?), simpatico, and gilded stars and zealous hearts; does anyone know what happened to them, why thye broke up, where they are now?

[ccfc73]

The short version is that Sarah moved to Seattle while the boys stayed behind in DC. She's released a couple of solo albums more along the lines of jazz/classic pop (e.g Tony Bennett type of sound). The boys aren't doing anything that I've heard of. They did all reunite for a one-off show back in 2002 as a benefit for original vocalist Bridget Cross.

[badseed57]

Sarah, Kelly and Jim put out an EP shortly after the band's break as well under the name Starry Eyes. Archie has done some stuff with The Saturday People in the past few years.

[indiesoc]

Cool song. I only wished they would have released "One Thing LEft to Say" as a single (and made a video).

[grezzbop]

totally agree

[mikecizzle6]

I used to watch the 120 minutes on the Mtv.

This video would make me dance.

Sometimes.... I miss those days.

Then I remember, I'm a man.

[voidingindigo]

How did it happen that an extremely beautiful woman formed a band with three nerds ?

[timleery]

correction...FOUR nerds...lol,j/k, they were all cool guys

[waves7]

Wow! These are some memories. I remember wearing this album out like it was yesterday. Those background vocals are so 90's. Great band.

[bobchoda]

Sharon Shannon Velocity girl,Fuzzy and another band opened Mid 90's tHE gALAXY ON wASHINGTON AVE IN sT lOUIS anyone else there?

[renardx]

saw them in 91/92 CBGBs and providence great... damn i think is was back then?

[dbadagna]

I never got to see this when it came out, so thanks for making it available. I remember when I first heard about them, on the profile NPR did on them (maybe on "All Things Considered" in the early '90s, when this song came out?).

[noisedream]

one of the best indie pop groups from the east coast...

ever. there are still very few albums that stand up to copacetic.

[Low5000]

My teacher said the word "velocity" today and all of a sudden I got fashbacks in my head of some 90's band. Thanks to trusty youtube, I've found a song I used to love and I'm bouncing around in my room again like I did when I was 15. :)

[bolinhorj]

I'm really LOVE this band!!

[qwerty1261]

I remember this song from a long time ago when I was a teenager. Oh the memories!!

[themcmenthol]

Great video man Sarah Shannon is so sexy

[teacheric]

AH-GREED! ;)

My favorite indie band...OF ALL TIME!

[trooper8]

sarah shannon is a hottie!

[enchantedblack]

*sighs* This song still rocks.

[DanBretta]

Great band...I saw them live around 1994 in a bar in Lincoln, NE.

[ccfc73]

I saw them at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit. Sugar, Velocity Girl, Magnapop for $8. It still ranks at the best concert I've ever seen.

[bunglermoose]

Ahhhh.... memories.

[figurehead2000]

Thanks for posting this video! I also remember when it premiered on MTV's 120 MINUTES. I only heard the song that one time, but it stayed with me all these years. Alterna-pop at its best.

[lamassulca]

esa cancion me recuerda cuando le escuchaba en radio doble nueve me trae recuerdos

[ambarinapop]

Qué tiempos aquellos! Sobre todo cuando escuchaba el Ranking de Doble Nueve con DJ Belly quien era la única que nos informaba sobre los grupos de la época. Como dice la canción "It Never Happen Again"...

[cityofwalls]

wow... I loved this song so much 11 years ago.

[trooper8]

Awesome! I remember seeing this video on 120 Minutes years ago...it's great to see it again after all this time!
