@Jalexd This comment about Alice's voice being "weak" is completely idiotic and without any ground in reality whatsoever. There would be no "Vels" without Alice and her excellent voice/composing skills. Her solo work pretty much proves lyrically and rhythmically that she was the master engine behind The Vels. That she's not a household name is likely due to her inability to properly manage her career, in a business sense (something a lot of artists have a hard time with, actually).

Alice Cohen's ("Desoto") voice was weak. Chris Larkin had so much more charisma. I think the Vels were nothing without him, even if it was a decision that was unavoidable... sad.

Brilliant stuff! Tremendously missed. I was spinning my 12" of Look My Way and Tell Me Something and found this. OUTSTANDING!

Hey Charlie. This is great. I always keep an eye out for stuff from you guys. Until now it was only the "Look My Way" video, which I do enjoy watching. It was great being your bassist for a while in Shag Motor Pony. You and Alice are the most brilliant musicians I've ever played with. BR
Funny - I was looking back on music from the 80's - found The Vels - but Chris Larkin is missing from all these videos - The Vels wouldn't have gotten as far as they did without Chris - but he seems to be missing from all their videos - REST IN PEACE CHRIS - I love you and will never forget!

Sadly, Chris Larkin, Joey Wilson and Alan Mann, all music geniuses in their own right, allowed extracurricular activities to intercede on their life path. Brian Jones and Chris's hero Jim Morrison had friends that tried to help but eventually the living must move on. Chris chose a path outside the Vels and was thus not in the band during these videos. Chris had magic, believed in magic but just not enough to save himself from this world. "...My name is Peter Pan...I fly across the land..."
