Violent Soho came from the the Brisbane suburb of Mansfiel, AUSTRALIA.
The members of the group, Luke Boerdam on vocals + guitar, James Tidswell
on guitar, Luke Henery on bass and Michael Richards on drums, began playing
music together in their teens influenced by the 80s and 90s Punk-Rock
and Grunge genres. The band has since then gone on its way to creating
an energetic live show; from its beginnings, playing shows at outer-suburban
pubs and rehearsing and recording demos in their parents' garages.
In late 2005, the quartet released locally its first EP "Pigs &
TV" which received moderate success. After two years of building
a loyal following, they delivered the debut full-length album, 2008's
"We Don't Belong Here".
In between releases Violent Soho has also toured extensively across the
globe as well as played shows with such bands as Built
To Spill, The Black Keys, The
Bronx, The Dead Weather, Dinosaur
Jr. and others.
In the fall of 2009, the band signed a deal with Ecstatic Peace/Universal
Motown, a label headed up by none other than Sonic
Youth's Thurston Moore. Violent Soho's first American single, "Jesus
Stole My Girlfriend", has recently hit the top 40 of The Billboard
Alternative chart; the track is due to appear on their forthcoming self-titled
album which is expected out in March 2010.
