Back on home turf, La Violette Società returns to Liverpool with four artists who don’t play to the gallery. Brown Fang brings measured intensity and melodic tension. Olivier Rocabois layers baroque pop with playful self-awareness. Matthew Edwards delivers stark, literate songcraft with a noir edge. And Saint Vespaluus folds spoken word, humour and heart into something all his own.

A rare trip beyond our Liverpool base, La Violette Società comes to Leamington Spa featuring four artists whose work commands attention. Ellis Murphy introduces Merseyside folk sensibilities, while Emma Hughes presents her "crying in the car" indie reflections. Roy offers a narrative that balances comedy and menace, and The Specials' Horace Panter merges musical heritage with visual art. For one night only, in a single room, four unique voices share something truly worth hearing.
Somewhere between rain-slicked streets and vintage preamps, Tigers & Flies assembled with newfound precision. The horns cut cleaner now, the rhythms lock tighter—something's shifted since the early days. When Matteo's trumpet converses with Risha's trombone, you hear a band that's found its voice by refusing the obvious path. What happens when five friends convene with purpose? Summer will reveal all.
March 25th sees La Violette Società's 54th gathering at Ten Streets Social, bringing together four distinct artistic voices for one unmissable evening.
Yesterday's Flowers deliver dreamy cosmic rock from Folkestone that's already caught BBC 6 Music's attention. Pys Melyn bring their twice Welsh Music Prize-nominated psychedelia from North Wales. Liverpool's own BITE blend psychedelic exploration with dancefloor-filling grooves, while poet Melanie Banim cuts through with unflinching narratives that honour the city's storytelling tradition.
This carefully curated lineup creates a journey through sound and word, continuing La Violette Società's commitment to meaningful artistic experiences in intimate settings.
Some things just make sense. From the moment we first heard Tigers & Flies, we knew there was something special—sharp, inventive and completely their own. Over the past few years, they’ve grown into a force to be reckoned with, and it’s been a privilege to be involved in that evolution.
"I was that strange child who'd just mimic everything," Darcie grins. "Cat meows, scraping metal, Christina Aguilera's vocal runs—anything that made an interesting sound." Years before Beatowls, before their shape-shifting single "(Do You Want To Be) Loved," there was just a kid with perfect pitch and a legendary playground Donkey impression.
Between stories of Gary Numan-soundtracked visits to her dad's and reimagined Jewish folk songs, Darcie maps out a musical landscape that's distinctly Liverpudlian yet entirely her own.
Delve into the enigmatic world of Beatowls with the maXIon Remix of "(Do You Want to Be) Loved," where celebrated producer Gary Curran adds a new dimension to this standout track from the album Marma. With its enhanced spectral atmosphere and hypnotic synth hooks, this remix pushes the boundaries of sound, making the underground both darker and brighter. Curran's meticulous production respects the original's emotional core while introducing an enthralling, expansive soundscape that invites listeners into a new auditory experience.
The psychedelic folk collective's carefully crafted new songs find their natural home at Violette Records after years of mutual admiration.
