The Plum Boys celebrated the release of their new EP Velvet last Saturday in Fort Worth, featuring a “casual prom afterparty” dress code that attendees embraced with fancy dresses and retro oversized suits. The event was held inside the home of Carlos Aguilar, father of The Plum Boys singer Fabian Aguilar and band manager.
The party space featured a photo booth, luxury couches, and a bar serving tacos and “Plum Boy Punch,” a mixture containing vodka, pineapple juice, Malibu, sweet and sour, and 7 Up. A smoke machine filled the room with haze as colorful lights pulsed to the beats of DJ Izzy, building anticipation for the live performance by the band.
The Plum Boys took the stage a little after 8:00 PM, performing their new EP Velvet in its entirety. The band’s energetic set showcased alternating lead vocalists and infectious, danceable beats. Though only started in 2021, this band shows promise in having the foundation needed to take their music to the next level.
Between songs, the band shared memories of performing at their high school Valentine’s dance when they were sophomores, a nod to their roots at the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts. After the live set, a playful karaoke rendition of Party in the USA kept the energy going, adding to the night’s mix of music and nostalgia.
