Live show by the gothic post-punk act The March Violets, with their new album 'Crocodile Promises', at The Hairy Dog.
The March Violets play The Hairy Dog on Thursday 5 November, starting at 7:00 PM. They're an early '80s gothic post-punk act from Leeds, and this is a headline show with them as the sole feature on the bill.
If you've come across them recently, you might have seen the phrase 'Rebirthed and ReVioletized' attached to the band. It's how they're describing this current chapter, and it comes with a new album, Crocodile Promises, which is out now. That's the record they'll be drawing from for the set, so you'll hear the new material alongside the older stuff they're known for.
As for what that sounds like, they place themselves across punk, post-punk, gothic and gothic rock. It's a broad stretch of ground, but it's the one they've occupied since the early eighties, and the new album sits right in the middle of it. If you're into that side of things, this is exactly the kind of night that fits.
