Alternative Malta Promotions will this weekend be hosting the London band The Violets. The gig is being held on Sunday 30 March at Poxx Bar in Paceville.
The Violets are a four-piece female-fronted London band. Emerging some 3 years ago from a scene which spawned such bands as Bloc Party and The Rakes, they have built a reputation for an energetic live show.
Musically and visually, The Violets are heavily influenced by the 80s bands such as Siouxsie and The Banshees. They have been described as "Nina Hagen fronting a punkier Sonic Youth" and "powerpop Siouxsie".The music always draws disparate influences such as Neue Deutsche Welle, David Lynch and French Coldwave.
 Their debut album "Lost Pages" was released last October. With airplay on Radio One, MTV2 and 6Music, they have become a staple on the indie dancefloors all over Europe.
The supporting band on Sunday is Malta's very own The Areola Treat while DJs Zickler and Bob will be spinning the best indie tunes before and after the gig.
The night is sponsored by Cisk Export, Brand Malta and Radio 101.
Tickets at 8 euro are available from D'Amato (Valletta) and Buon Caffe' (Paceville) or else direct from the organizers. Tickets at the door are subject to availability and cost 10 euro.
