The Violet Burning

My favorite Christian band at this point in my life! Ah well... you've all heard me rant and rave about them before, so I'll digress. But!! Made ya look!

Oh man, the Violets bring back so many memories. I loved their early stuff.

yeah great, I saw them last summer. I think Drop Dead is a great album

I really need to get familiar with their stuff. I saw 3 of their cd's at Zia's tonight...

Any references as to who they sound like, or what type of music they play?

I have heard of them, but never actually heard them..

or http://www.myspace.com/thevioletburning

See what you think!

BTW -

Their sound is kind of like the Cure meets the Cars meets Human Drama meets Smashing Pumpkins....

Very passionate!!

They have to be witnessed live! Mike Pritzl is a an amazing frontman but what is very impressive is his mastery of reverb/feedback live. He is a tremendous guitar player and many people miss that

I -----LOVE------- The Violet Burning

I SOOOOOOOOO want to see them live Sombrant is right they are awesome and heres a tidbit Sombrance opened for them awhile back hehe maybe Sombrant should tell us how that was like

I wasn't familiar with VB until Sombrant introduced me to them last year. Now I have most of their CDs and I must admit I've become quite attached to their music. Good string!

I had one of their cd's MANY years ago, but I think I got rid of it before I ever really got a chance to listen to it.

Ahhh, well - I don't know how it's possible that Rick can listen to all 3000... *shrug...

oh wait...

I'll go out on a limb and say you'd like them - we have strangely similar tastes in music, so you never know!

Hmmm...maybe a comp is in order?

Made by someone who is REALLY familiar with their music?

I scored Strength for $2.99 at goodwill!!!!!!!!!! No scratches either!

I have all but their first album "Chosen"

Its a rare album though some peeps I know have it -looks at Sombrant-

That's the one I used to have.

I know I am kicking myself because that album was everywhere for years! I had the tape and never picked up the cd. D'oh

I dont think ive heard anything from "Chosen" I would love to get it one day even if its a CD-R of it heh

Prayin I can see them live in a few weeks

They're still active?

Yeah their latest CD is called "Drop Dead"... You can listen to it (and their current sound - which is louder than Chosen) at http://www.thevioletburning.com

very very cool IMO

Chances are im not going in a few weeks wife cant go and I dont want to go alone, Its times like this where I wish I had some local friends who were fans would love to go see them

If I had to choose between them and Deliverance it would be a Super super tough call for me.....

Sorry bleed... were I there, I would SO go with ya!

Wed have a blast too bro well ya know youre only 5 hours away from me now......... heh or is it 6?
