VIOLET CITIES are an original four piece Indie/Pop band from Leicester. Dig around their twitter feed and you might come to the conclusion that Violet Cities are the latest in a long line of boy bands. It's certainly true that the looks and talent of these four young men haven't escaped the attention of teenage girls (and boys) keen to find a new poster for their bedroom walls.

But, this is only half the story. Boy band can be a maligned term and there's nothing manufactured about James, James, Paul and Dan. Quality musicianship, songs about their day jobs in which they graft, clever harmonies and a live show that will appeal to teeny bopper, indie blogger and your granny alike. There's a freshness, friendliness and honesty about their approach that delights all who see them.

2014 has been a stunning year for Violet Cities during which, through hard work and tenacious talent, they've shown how they can support out-there indie acts such as Ezra Furman whilst not being out of place sharing a festival main stage with Labrinth and UB40 or headlining their local Oxjam event. 2015 is set to be even better.
