LAKE PLACID – Artur Novoselsky is coming home to rock the town he grew up in.

Novoselsky, the bass player for Brooklyn-based the VeeVees, will return home to play Smoke Signals in Lake Placid with the band Saturday.

“I’m equal parts super excited and super nervous, just because I know what our shows are like,” he said. “There are some shenanigans involved. I think I have some high school teachers coming out … and I’m going to be up there shirtless, shaking my head and stuff.

“It’s going to be fun.”

Musically, the VeeVees exude the garage rock swagger of the young Iggy Pop. Vocalist Sophia Urista sounds a lot like what you’d get if you recombined the DNA of Tina Turner and Karen O. Guitarist, vocalist and principle songwriter Garrett Cillo plays like his guitar is on fire. Drummer Andrea Belfiore lays down the beat with authority. And Novoselsky’s bass gives the tracks on the band’s current EP, “Cream of Heaven,” a deep sense of menace.

Novoselsky said the reception to “Cream of Heaven” has been positive.

“It’s been great,” he said. “When people listen to it, everyone has nice things to say.

“When people come out to the live shows, we play the first song, and some people are like, ‘Ah, I don’t know what to expect,’ and honestly, by the third or fourth song, everybody’s had a couple drinks and we’re all sweating and stuff, and people are full on dancing and screaming, and it’s becoming a big, fun party. We’re all in it together, we’re all in it for the same reason.”

The band recently played legendary New York City venue Irving Plaza.

“You get into the room there, and you walk down the hallway and see some pictures of Mike Ness from Social Distortion, or the Misfits, or G. Love and Special Sauce, and it’s like you’re about to play the same stage as them,” Novoselsky said. “It was a dream come true, honestly.”

And, according to Novoselsky, a 2006 graduate of Lake Placid High School, none of it would have happened without two things: skateboarding and boredom.

“I think the beginning of it all kind of started with skateboarding with a bunch of my friends and snowboarding,” he said. “Music, graphic design, and those kind of sports are all just so interconnected. All those kind of subcultures kind of feed off each other.”

Novoselsky said he was turned onto music in his early teens when a friend got bored with it.

“My friend gave me a bass, and that’s how it all started,” he said. “He got it for Christmas and kind of fell out of love with it, and I picked it up and played a few notes and was like, ‘All right – I need this. Can I buy it off you?'”

When the band auditioned for 2015’s AfroPunkFest, which featured a social media voting component, Novoselsky said he was overwhelmed by the support he received from people in his hometown he hadn’t seen in years.

“I have to thank Lake Placid as a town,” he said. “We needed a lot of votes to be featured, and it was insane, the amount of people that were so willing to help me and the band out.

“It was really nice of everybody to just kind of have our backs and post on the social media thing. It felt really nice. It felt like I was part of something way bigger than just the band. There has been a lot of positive things my friends from Lake Placid have been saying. They’re all kind of rooting for the band. A big thank you to the hometown I grew up in. I can’t wait to play there. I think it’s going to be so wild and fun, and I can’t wait to thank you.”
