Violetine
have just finished tracking their new album at Hothouse
Studios in Melbourne with Wayne Connolly of Knievel and
the Welcome Mat fame. The album is set to be mixed in
the next 8 weeks and you should be hearing new tracks
very soon after that. Look out for a couple of special
guests who popped into the studio!!!! The band also have
a new drummer. Andy Strachan was previously in Alcotomic.
Check out his diary of the recordings on the bands
website (coming soon) at http://www.violetine.net
One
of the best debut albums to come from an Australian act
in recent time was "Small Speaker Joyland"
from Violetine. Describing themselves as Pavement meets
Fugazi meets Husker Du with the addition of hip hop
influences they carve a very unique sound. Violetine
have been keeping themselves busy with heaps of powerful
live gigs as well as working on a follow up album. The
song they contributed to the Red Hot Green Black
compilation is "The Rocking Buzz".
