PALMA VIOLETS Announce headline Melbourne sideshow + Melbourne show with The Vaccines sold out

Praise for Palma Violets

“Their latest LP sees it advance from the ramshackle rowdiness of debut album, 180, to something altogether more streamlined, more sophisticated even. Sure, there’s still chaos aplenty, but it’s been brought under control.” The Line Of Best Fit (8/10)

“They’ve made [an album] that sounds like it was recorded without a care in the world. You’re only young once, and Palma Violets are in no hurry to grow up.”NME (8/10)

Danger In The Club is a more patient, careful record than its predecessor. Palma Violets initial appeal lay in their ramshackle approach. This second album shows that there is more to their schtick than barely tamed chaos.”DIY

Danger in the Club’s flaws and charms alike are summed up in the way ‘Matador’ rollercoasts from sprawling mess to tuneful brilliance as the band throw everything in their locker at a heroic charge towards death or glory.”The Guardian

Palma Violets are excited to announce a headline show in Melbourne on Sunday 26 July at Ding Dong Lounge. Their Australian tour will see the band also playing the sold out Splendour in the Grass Festival as well as Sydney with The Vaccines on Tuesday 28 July at The Metro Theatre. Full ticket details and links below.

The tour will see the band perform tracks from their eagerly anticipated follow up Danger In The Club out now via Rough Trade Records / Remote Control Records.

Danger In The Club was produced by John Leckie (Stone Roses, Radiohead, The Fall) and recorded at Rockfield Studio in Wales. The album is a giant step up from the band’s debut 180. ‘Girl, You Couldn’t Do Much Better On The Beach’ and ‘Hollywood (I Got It)’ build on 180’s exhilarating, primal rock and roll, whilst the hook-heavy choruses and imaginative lyrics of ‘English Tongue’ and ‘Coming Over To My Place’ demonstrate how much Palma Violets – still all in their early twenties – have developed into first class songwriters and honed their own unique sound.

 

Speaking about the new album, bassist and singer Chilli Jesson explains: “We wanted to make a young-sounding record. We listened to a lot of pre-punk while we were making the album. We like its rawness and simplicity.  A lot of bands want to over-complicate their second album, we know that we didn’t.”
