Mark Ryden...

We had the pleasure of performing a private Velvet Hammer show for this famous artist in celebration of his 40th birthday, aka The Death of his Youth. In deference to the tragic event, we spent most of the night in veils and black armbands.

We presented Mr. Ryden with a small token to commemorate the evening, a device of our own creation. We thought it was hilarious. We’re not sure what Mark thought, but he gave us hugs anyway.
