Salacious sounds from Leeds gothic / gloom poppers The March Violets. This is their 5th single and one of their biggest hits, 'WALK INTO THE SUN' (1984). LISTEN LOUD! Simon Denbigh - vocals. Cleo Murray - vocals. Tom Ashton - guitar. Laurence Elliot - bass. Dr. Rhythm - drums. Statues slowly click their fingers Catch the beat and born again Come into the drawing room She draws them in That smoke filled room Broken glasses token smiles Dust is fine so she breathes it in she Circulates with ermine hands Picking the wallflowers one by one Now Walk Into the Sun I want you to walk with me Into the Sun Statues moving in the ballroom On the dancefloor all is bright Vicious sins of gentlefolk I love my horse thats the joke Find your picture in the mirror Find your portrait on the wall Turn the sundial back again This is a dance for everyone Walk with me now The sun machine is coming down And we're gonna have a party Statues slowly click their fingers Catch the beat and born again East is West and West is East Follow me into the garden Find your future in the crystal Leave your friendship in the hall Follow me now this is the way This is a dance for everyone. + Informações

The original band members met while at Leeds University in 1981. Tom Ashton and Laurence "Loz" Elliot played lead and bass guitar, while vocals were handled by both Simon "Detroit" Denbigh and Rosie Garland. Percussion was provided by a drum machine, a feature that a number of bands in the burgeoning Leeds scene had in common. Fellow student Andrew Eldritch, lead singer of The Sisters of Mercy, released the bands first single on his Merciful Release label in 1982. The "Religious As Hell" single consisted of four tracks that reflected strong punk and garage rock influences in the guitar work, along with contrasting vocals from the two singers. Denbigh's male vocals varied from being essentially spoken to a harsh yelling, whereas Garland's were high pitched and almost operatic. The band garnered positive reviews for this first release, which was soon followed in 1983 by a second single for Merciful Release. "Grooving In Green" featured a more confident sounding production, aided by a more powerful sounding drum machine, and received more positive reaction from the UK national music press.In October 2007, it was announced that the March Violets would play a one-off reunion gig with original members Simon Denbigh, Rosie Garland, Tom Ashton and Mat Thorpe standing in on bass on 8th December in Leeds. Although the show was a resounding success, plans for further shows were put on hold during Rosie Garland's successful fight against throat cancer.Once Rosie Garland was fully .... + Informações

From www.marchviolets.co.uk The March Violets performing 'Turn To The Sky' on the 80s BBC kids' TV show Saturday Superstore. Unfortunately, the audio/video sync is a little out on this clip, but the audio is from the 7" single anyway, because they were miming, so use your imagination... This particular 'outside broadcast' segment of the show was filmed in Blackpool. The song was also featured on the soundtrack to the John Hughes film 'Some Kind Of Wonderful'.. + Informações

A band from Leeds (1981-1986). This song is from The Botanic Verses album. "Lizard hear the sound Of a song that kicks As it shivers in death Tortured by a sense of humour That razors up to slit your face Lizards in the icicle shed Skin of prophets falling down Melted venom liquid notes And honeyed poison on the ground It was it was They fall off the floor And stick to the walls Through walls of jet With a spider-like step And honeyed words That glow in the dark Lizard eyes tell of the past Reflect upon the shattered glass Frozen in the painful sound Of burning words On judgement day Something brittle in the voice Grew some wings and flew away It was it was They fall off the floor And stick to the walls Slow drip lizard". + Informações

The March Violets were a great band......A really great band. They were labelmates with The Sisters of Mercy, yet darker and infinitely more messed up than them, and through constant gigging they became integral to the whole Leeds/M62 scene in the early/mid 1980s. We loved them, John Peel loved them, and we assume you loved them too. And now they're back!. + Informações
