Violet Minds - Alternative Underground Rock
Violet Minds
The Violet Minds are from Phoenix, Arizona. They recorded at Road Records in mid March 2002. This rock trio has a very underground vibe to the lyrics and rhythm textures.
Their song “20 Days To Hollywood” is featured on the Road Records compilation CD New Faces Volume Four. The project was produced by Conrad Askland.
The drums have hip hop and jazz influences. The vocals sometimes sound reminiscent of early David Bowie or the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The songs range from light rock and punk with funk influences, to heart felt songs full of pathos, remorse and somber reflection.
Ironically, the group was going to be the band for our online “band recording studio tour”, but the group split up with their present player lineup towards the end of the recording session. To our knowledge their album was not pressed (except for the excerpt on New Faces Volume Four, “20 Days To Hollywood). We wish them all good guidance on their journeys.
Special thanks to Ryan at Tom’s Music Victorville CA for setting up the lead guitar with new strings and proper intonation.
You single handedly saved our recording!
