Brothers Danny and Daniel Chavis of The Veldt joined Aaron on Live & Local, celebrating their new album “Entropy is the Mainline to God.”

Formed in the late 1980s, The Veldt quickly established itself as an iconic band in the Triangle music scene. After briefly rebranding as Apollo Heights following a move to New York, the Chavis brothers are back again under their original name. Inspired in part by the racial justice marches of 2020, “Entropy” is the band’s first full-length album as the Veldt since 1994’s “Afrodisiac.”

Danny and Daniel Chavis stopped by 97.9 The Hill on Friday to chat with Aaron on Live & Local. Listen to their conversation, plus three tracks off the new album: “Sweeter,” “New Blood,” and “Red Flagz.”
