TEETHING VEILS »

Teething Veils is a band perpetrated by songwriter Greg Svitil.  It began in 2006 in a beige-carpeted second-story bedroom along Florida Avenue in Washington, DC.  Its first live show was on November 25, 2006 at the Montgomery College Planetarium, and featured a star show orchestrated by Dr. Harold Alden Williams as well as music from Chicago’s doom-folk troupe Unlucky Atlas.  Following an ill-received impromptu performance in Dayton, Ohio, shows took place in such venues as Artomatic; WMUC’s Third Rail Radio; Radio CPR; and 611 Florida, at the storied house’s final show before its denizens quit the premises and the landlady installed new floors.  Teething Veils continues to make songs, a stone’s throw away from where it was born.
