Alongside guitarist James Moncur, bassist Tim Black, and drummer Daniel Rothe, Lian leads a band whose electrifying chemistry has quickly earned them a reputation as one of the most compelling live acts on the European rock circuit.

The band recorded their music at Hamburg’s renowned Chameleon Studios with acclaimed producer Eike Freese (Deep Purple, Simple Minds, Slash, Status Quo), crafting a sound packed with driving guitars, memorable hooks, and undeniable energy.

Their debut single, »Euphonia«, immediately attracted international attention, earning Classic Rock Magazine UK’s “Best Rock Song of the Week” accolade in October 2024. Momentum continued with the release of their debut album »Trail Of Gold« in September 2025, which received widespread acclaim and was highlighted as a “Tip of the Month” and “Tip of the Year” by leading rock publications including Classic Rock, Rocks, and Rock Hard.

Onstage, Velvet Rush have continued their rapid ascent, sharing stages with Jerry Cantrell, touring Europe alongside The Vintage Caravan, and appearing at major festivals including Rockharz.
