The High Violets |
|---|
The High Violets are an American dream pop band from Portland, Oregon.
History
The High Violets were formed in late 1998[1] after the breakup of Portland band The Bella Low[2] by former members Clint Sargent, Luke Strahota and Violet Bianca Grace. This lineup was short-lived however as Grace left after a few gigs. Sargent and Strahota then joined forces with Allen Davis of Echoplex. Soon after Sargent recruited Kaitlyn Ni Donovan to complete the line up. After self-releasing an EP entitled Dream Away, they signed to Irish label Reverb Records and released 44 Down in 2002.[3] Four years later, they followed up with the critically acclaimed To Where You Are, also on Reverb.[4][5][6] The group also performed at SXSW in 2006. [7] In 2007, they performed at NXNE and released a remix album, Satellite Remixes, which featured Ulrich Schnauss and Carmen Rizzo among others.[8] Although the band is currently on hiatus from touring and live performances they have been active in the studio. Their fourth full length album Cinema was released in 2010. [9]
