The March Violets and Leeds again
In the runup to their December 8 reunion show in Leeds, The March Violets have just released a new downloadable mp3 via their website, and they're encouraging fans to share the track, so here it is:
What do you think? I'm still on the fence, I don't know if I like that "raunch" groove. Rather, I like it, but not necessarily on the Violets; they weren't about sleaze back in the 80s, so I wonder why they're doing it now. Not that I'm against artistic growth, I'm just not convinced this is growth. Or maybe I'm just getting crotchety in my old age. Still, it has whet my appetite for more. Is it too much to hope for a whole new album?
And how about that concert lineup? With James Ray representing the Sisters of Mercy (sort of), I think they've covered all of the Leeds drum machine bands. Salvation, even! Must go dig out those records...
