   About Violet Youth
We're 4 lads who met in Stockport, picked up instruments and hoped for the best. We record and practice in moolah rouge studio's in Stockport, next door to some better bands.

2009 consisted of:

Supporting: Nine Black Alps, The Chapman family, Gliss, Chapter 24, Stricken City and more bands that no longer return our calls or reply to our e-mails. Playing: Manchester Pride Festival, Urbis, The Ritz, Camden, Blackburn and a few more places here and there ending with Manchester Academy 2.

We've been played on bbc 6 music introducing and lots of random community radio stations and sessions with local stations like pure fm and all fm etc

we enjoy it and we hope you do an' all

agh sorry i couldnt make it to your gig, in my defense i was smashed! i thought i could stay the course but i was hammered. On the bright side I did use my charms to get a £35 bottle of champers, 2 sambucas and a load of beers for free courtesy of a group of girls. its good being in a band innit? how was the gig?
