The introduction wasn’t necessarily a formal interview or tryout, but more of a vibe check. The band had been a budding local darling for nearly a decade at that point, tearing up stages across the Front Range with its modern take on classic rock, complete with dynamo vocals and a dual-drummer attack that includes Pottersmith and Figg sharing a conjoined kit. It’s unique and a little zany — and it turned out to be exactly the type of setup and sound Auerbach could relate to.
Pottersmith admits to experiencing some anxiety while working alongside Auerbach for that first record, especially when he’d offer up some advice about tweaking songs. “He would just look at the song from a fresh perspective and we were, maybe on the first record, a little scared, because we had never worked with Dan. So when he’d start changing things, I think we’d get a little scared,” says the 26-year-old drummer., is a hell of a major-label introduction.
It’s safe to say the Velveteers are no longer fretting about jumping into Auerbach’s sonic lab to cook up something catchy and killer. That confidence is evident between the first and second albums. “This time around we were like really like, ‘Come on, let’s take advantage to collaborate with someone like Dan and really encourage whatever comes to mind when we’re working with him,’” Pottersmith says.
