Info about Band:

TTHE VIOLET MIND is the newest musical outlet of 4 young Essex-based musicians.

Individually writing and performing music constantly for 5 years or more and being inspired to start something original sounding and new, in late 2008 Tom McFarlane, Will Gatenby, Marshall Gregory & Jack Hobbs came together for their first (of many) 8-10 hour writing session, to try their hand at creating music for the first time, as a brand new 4 piece rock band.

The most recent achievements include being played on the Tom Robinson show on BBC radio 6 music, reaching number 6 on the UK unsigned charts and are fresh from supporting Ed Larrikin's The Pan I Am on the Southend fringe festival. 2009 is proving to be a significant year for The Vanity Clause and with a tour of Germany and their debut album set for release later this year; things can only go from strength to strength.

After finishing a 10 track CD in July, the band are now looking to play shows in and around Essex and London, with the hope of taking their music further afield.
