Violet Bones

VIOLET BONES are a 4 piece garage rock band from Cambridge, UK. Leading this gang of garage-rock mercenaries is Rik, Oz ,Stu and Si who wield electric live performances and tight punchy songs as their weapons of choice. The band’s ethic is keep it simple: work it hard — which comes across in their seemingly endless list of tour schedules. Through links to the Mafia and underhand blackmail, Violet Bones have performed alongside bands such as New York Dolls, Cage The Elephant, Ash, Tribes and Pulled Apart By Horses. Violet Bones have spent the last 12 months working on their debut album “Decline of Vaudeville”; featuring the recently released single “Chemicals”. Capturing the greased back suave of the 50s and 60s without compromising neither tempo, nor a ‘catchy charm’ the band has worked hard to conquer, “Decline of Vaudeville” is the garage-rock, sonically-spectacular, takeaway-pizza fuelled album that the world has been waiting for. Last year has seen Violet Bones complete two full UK tours and signed a deal with Global/Rough Trade for the European release of their album “Decline of Vaudeville”. They are getting great tastemaker reactions from online blogs, BBC Radio 2, BBC Introducing, Kerrang!, Q and XFM. Violet Bones plan to tour throughout 2013 and will be putting out constant Facebook and mailing list feeds of their progress. http://violetbones.com http://twitter.com/violet_bones
