Velour 100 (more accurately spelled Velour 100; sometimes spelled as Velour100) were a dream pop/ethereal rock band from Michigan, USA. The band existed from approximately 1995 to 2000, with most of its music seeing release via the Christian rock label Tooth & Nail Records in 1997. The band was essentially masterminded by multi-instrumentalist Trey Many of His Name Is Alive and Liquorice, plus female vocalist Amon Krist. Unofficial member Warren Defever (also of His Name Is Alive) helped with production. The band's 4AD Records-influenced sound often led to comparisons to artists such as The Sundays, Cocteau Twins, All About Eve, and Love Spirals Downwards.
Krist was the vocalist on debut album Of Color Bright and 6-song EP Songs From The Rainwater, after which point she left the group. Second album Of Color Bright used three new vocalists (all female), including Sydney Rentz of Morella's Forest and Karin Oliver of HNIA.
The band then went on hiatus. They released an EP in 1999, and apparently broke up soon thereafter.
