There's a lot going on right now in the world of the violets.

Greetings from The Radiant Lodge.

We decided we ought to show you a bit of what we've been up to. We also wanted to put a mix out that might get a bit of dance floor play, before we do some gigs in June.

Pledgers can download the new double A-sided white label single by logging in here:
http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/the ... ates/10461

Here's the artwork:


The A-side is an old school drum-machine mix of a track called Tokyo Flow. A version will be on the LP. Please excuse my rubbish Japanese.

The Double-A side is a loaded ReMix of Dandelion King by Mark Gemini Thwaite, guitarist for Peter Murphy, The Mission, and much much more. And a very nice chap and good friend he is too. He has a website at http://www.markthwaite.com/ where you can check out the stuff he has been up to.

This Remix is a taste of the tracks (by some of our friends) we'll be putting on the Bonus CD that comes with the Special Pack CD.

We hope you like these tracks and please PLAY them to friends rather than handing them out, unless of course your friend is a DJ! In which case please do so or send them the link. In fact please feel free to chase up any DJs you think might like the White Label and ask them. Be our agents, be industrious, be obsessive! But be polite too please. Surprise us with your prolific purple love, we want our songs (that you helped bring about) to be spread far and wide.

Pledgers can download it here:

Any DJs who wish to be on our mailing list for future white labels should get in touch at djs@marchviolets.com

Thanks Muchly

Hi Pop-pickers

Can those of you who have pledged for either a Special Pack CD or a Signed Poster with your picture on it (which you get in the Special Pack) please send us your pictures.

Jpeg format, and preferably portrait in a standard 4 high 3 across ratio. Doesn't matter too much what size, but try not to go over 4meg or so.

Attach them to an email and send it to mypic@marchviolets.com

Cheers
MVs

PS. Can't remember what you pledged? Go here and login to view your pledge details: https://www.pledgemusic.com/pledges

As you may have gathered we are beginning to wind up the pledge, and in the next weeks will be ending most of the exclusives. Thank you for you patience and support. If you (or any of your friends) wish to pledge for anything (else), please do it soon.

Also, for those of you who pledged for the poster with your pic on it or the Special Pack (which includes the poster), we need your pic!

We will be getting the size, format and an email address for this sorted in the next few days, so if you could have a think which pic you want to use and stay tuned.....

And finally, we are gearing up to do a few live events in June. These are currently only in the UK, and for those of you in the vicinity it would be lovely to see you. The concerts are:

Birmingham - Eddies - 8/6/12
Manchester - Academy - 9/6/12
Glasgow - Classic Grand - 10/6/12
London - O2 Academy Islington - 16/6/12

We will be announcing guests and giving these a bit of a push in the following weeks. If you can spread the word we would appreciate it.

Valentine greetings and hugs from us!

And Si is off for a bit of a jaunt with the Sisters. At the end of that, he is getting together with Tom in Athens (Georgia) to finish the recording of the LP (in the same room for once). Upon return to the UK the LP will be mixed, mastered and pressed.

As soon as we have the finished article we will make it available to download and get it off to you along with any other stuff you pledged for. We will also be sending out any other pledges during this period and doing a bit of video stuff, including those of you who kindly pledged to be in them. And please let us know which t-shirt design you want.

We are very aware that this LP really has turned into the Violets difficult first Album. Lots of unforeseen crises and that's-life-things cropped up and got in the way. We could give you the list but it's a bit boring and we'd rather give you our thanks for being patient. It is rather incredible to have support from people like you, and a little humbling.

So hang in there, we have a clutch of (we think) great songs that will soon be unleashed upon a largely complacent and unsuspecting world, and that is down to your good selves!

Don't forget to come and see us live this Summer if you can, we don't get out much and need the company.
