NOVEMBER 2010 GIG UPDATE
From http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=106423339399815
For those of you wondering what to do after the show in the Academy finishes. Fear not. Part 2 of the night is just around the corner, literally. All ticket holders are graciously invited to step into the Slimelight for a continuation of the Purpleness. There will be more guest artists performing live: Faderhead is already confirmed for the more Electroid amongst us, plus gothique karaoke horror, Vjay nonsense and drinkies. There will not be a raffle.
The O2 show starts at 6pm and finishes at 10pm. Free entry to the Slimelight for ticketed folks begins at 10pm and ends at midnight.
The Slimelight closes at 7.30am, perfect time to stagger back to the station for the ride home.
Major Thankyous and Respect to the Lovely Slimelight Crew for this.
Confirmed DJs Quiff Boy and Dead Matty
Tickets cost £15.00 and are on sale now from the venue or via Ticketweb.

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!
Sadly, there are still very few websites about The March Violets. Which is where we come in. You and us.
Can you help?
We'd like your help in building this site into the largest resource for March Violets information & paraphernalia on the internet.
Do you have any news clippings, photos. memorabilia, or details about the band that we don't? If so, we'd like you to let us know here. You will be credited in full for anything we use on the site, and you will have our undying gratitude.
Thanks.
Play loud, play purple.
