Manchester last night
Hi Alixus, Joe, Andrew Just a quickie to say thanks for an excellent gig last night. Saw you at Barfly in Liverpool a week or two ago, that was a weird gig, freezing cold and a strange atmosphere. Last night was much better, you were on form, think you were scaring the crowd because nobody wanted to come to the front. Alixus, you were looking fantastic. My girlfriend had a chat with you afterwards, she also thought you looked hot last night. Great to see so much energy onstage. We'll come to the front next time, promise. Hope to see you again soon. tokenwelshman

thanks token! heres a review of the gig from : http://www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/webpages/whiterosemovementx15x03x06 Night & Day Café, Manchester 12/03/06 Live Review The Siouxsie And The Banshees sound must be one of the most prevalent of the new wave influences around today, add to that a dash of Debbie Harry and the Yeah Yeahs Yeahs and you have the bouncy female fronted, The Violets. ‘Mirror, Mirror’ stands out for its punchy bite that summarises their angular rock perspective. The feisty and exuberant singer, Alexis does her utmost to awake the Sunday evening slumber that the crowd appear to be in, by beckoning everyone forward, but people seem keen to admire from a far. Perhaps they were astounded by the sheer dexterity of the solo guitarist who certainly made it appear that there were more than two guitars in action for brash and defiant, 70s rock sounding ‘Leave Me Alone’. The Violets are a band of potential, although you just get the feeling that the odd keyboard element would help to broaden the one guitar and percussion accompaniment that tends not to deviate too much in structure.
