*Violens Tour Support*

No its not what you think or might want, we haven't yet managed to rope in Vanessa Mae, or any other Violinist for that matter, to join us on stage and go all Echo and the Bunnymen 'Ocean Rain' on you. Trust me we are working on it.

Instead as the header suggest we are announcing our first tour support with fellow Supervision Trust band, The Violens.

Brief info on the chaps...

The Violens claim influences as divergent as 60s psyche-pop, thrash, and Miami freestyle. Their music channels the stylish sophistication of Roxy Music, and the no wave roar of early Sonic Youth, synthesizing the surreal visuals of Stanley Kubrick and Nobuhiko Obayashi. The New York based 3-piece will release their highly anticipated debut album 'Amoral' November 2nd, on Friendly Fire Recordings and their own imprint Static Recital. Having just finished their tour with MGMT in the US, Violens are due to complete a small tour of the UK, with Mabel Love for company, and then join some band called 'The Drums' ;) as special guests in November.

Tour Dates:

Wednesday 29th September – The Lexington, London
Thursday 30th September – The Forum, Sheffield
Friday 1st October – Lost & Found @ Ruby Lounge,
Manchester Saturday 2nd October – Cockpit 3, Leeds

I hope you agree he above sounds very interesting and we are thoroughly looking forward to getting to know the Violens and get back on the road doing what we do best, making some noise.

Further more on the Mabel Love frontier, the Myspace has had a face lift and we are due to pop a few new pics on there for good measure. As mentioned previously the new tracks are getting closer to being finished and plans are being drawn up to get these recorded and posted for your aural pleasure.

Keep your eyes peeled for further ramblings, I have made a startling discovery involving 80's warblers, Hue and Cry.

Keep smiling.
