Tasty, barbed musical morsels snatched from the fingers, mouths and hearts of PJ Harvey, Sleater-Kinney and Huggy Bear, heavily seasoned with violet violet’s own arty brand of vibrant wit and wisdom. This is gossip rock. It’s edgy, full-on bitching, harmoniously delivered by a feisty trio of sardonic sirens. Tumbling tunes stuffed full of perfect and primal tribal rhythms with buzzsaw bass, gyrating guitars and a dual-pronged lead vocal attack that’s guaranteed to get you singing and bopping along to their infectious DIY dancefloor ditties.
Tune in, take note and listen to their woah-a-oh! You’ll be unable to resist the violet violet range of sound: from infectious disco beats to hard screaming riot grrrl noisiness, each skit telling tales of bad dress sense, nasty nights out and crushing one-liners.
Indeed, their quirky approach has charmed Brummie punk legends/rock mavericks The Nightingales, who took the girls under their wings for some UK shows in October 06 and will do so again this summer. Further national endorsement has come from airplay on Radio 1 and 6 Music, plus a coveted slot in the NME: surely, with such support already under their well-accessorised belts, these leading ladies of the Norwich music scene are dressed for success. As their image includes a fondness for facial hair, you’d be wise to snip out your own violet violet-styled moustache from your CD cover and become part of the bitchbox, gossip rock, boy/grrrl revolution now.

"...thrilling guitar pop [violet violet] sum up the real energy of the DIY movement at present..." Steve Lamacq, In New Music We Trust

"...will have you coming away from their gigs with the feeling you've seen something quite special [even if it is fabulously foul mouthed.]" NME

"I hardly feel the need to mention that we should be supporting these girls as they are sisters of our fair city; their hometown seems inconsequential really as the girls only need their music to recieve our praise. Our moustachioed sisters are doing it for themselves..." Outline Magazine

"“Headless-style femi-punk from this trio of hardcore Norwich based DIY-ers… producing what could be called Rrrriot-metal. Or Metal-grrrrl. Something like that anyway… Echos of bands like Huggy Bear, Gertrude and Bikini Kill litter proceedings: shouty vocals, angry 'bitchy' lyrics and big punk riffs are all evidence of this… It's almost enough to recall the great Babes in Toyland… I take back my first sentence. This band is much better than Headless. As the band's lyrics on this little gem say for themselves 'Anything you can do/I can do it better'.” Artrocker

"...full of quirkiness and indie punk attitude [with] vocals that could out sass even Karen O..." Rock Sound

"All it really takes is the jerky guitars, stuttering vocals and primal thumping drums of opening track baby's going down and im hooked. Violet Violet's bitch box is an absolute stormer: vocals that are PJ Harvey, early Throwing Muses and riot grrl, guitars that are always insistant, drilling and primal. Rock in attitude, pop in execution." The Evening News

"...Not averse to making the sort of racket Courtney Love dished out so vivaciously before real-life soap operas took over, or even the primal gutscraping of people like Huggy Bear and Nation Of Ulysses, Violet Violet are a refreshing kick in the goolies to boring ladrock and post-rocking chinstrokers the land over..." Drowned In Sound

Hey girls!!

Had an absolutely amazing night on Saturday - maybe a bit too good as I had to get a taxi to Notts to get back in time for work, fell asleep and then had to get a train to Manchester in the end!

Cannot wait for the Hull gig, I'm definitely going to come up for that! If I can make anymore I'll let you know but I'm going to be skint after getting all your stuff! xx

Very awesome night, hope last night was good. I'm sure our paths will cross again.

you girls behave yourselves, no rusty tromboning alright?

hey violet violet its nina from the sumo. Just wanted to say thanks very much for talking to us and what not. it was an awesome gig and you were on top form! I'm still recovering from that scary man dancing infront of me lol Thanks had a really good night by the way Leicester is normally a lot better I think it was because of the venue change people didn't know what was going on.
you have to back here again because you were amasing

Hey guys

Not going to be able to make your gig tonight I'm afraid but I hope it goes really well and you blow the place up (I don't think anyone actually uses this term any more but I just did so what the hell - I'm bringing sexy back!).

Looking forward to sharing the stage with you guys in August.

Having heard of you via Betty and the Werewolves last week I'm now hooked and bought myself Bitchbox. Love it already. You're my second favourite band from Norwich, having already been a big fan of Bearsuit. Good that Norwich has such a healthy music scene again (I remember listening to John Peel back in 1982 when the likes of the Higsons and The Farmer's Boys were my fave bands).
