Over the last year, Tessa Violet has released several standout singles - 'YES MOM', 'BREAKDOWN' and 'Kitchen Song', and created several of her own trends on TikTok, giving her the ability to test and create demand for new music before release. On the heels of her sold out "Rise of the Phoenix" tour, Tessa is gearing up to release her sophomore album this summer and bring her breathtaking live show around the world. Tessa continues to grow her fanbase with her unique approach to engaging with fans on TikTok and celebrating her wins with the world.
Sonic wizard Robin Guthrie (ex-Cocteau Twins) and vocalist Siobhan de Mare (ex-Mono) made up the hazy dream pop of Violet Indiana. Shortly after de Mare was relieved of her Mono duties, she received a phone call from Guthrie, asking her if she'd like to work with him. Unfamiliar with Guthrie's cult status, she asked her sister about him and decided to take him up on the offer. In late 2000, the duo released the Choke EP on Bella Union, the label run by Guthrie and former Cocteau mate Simon Raymonde. Retaining some of Guthrie's trademark characteristics and combining them with de Mare's lazy, confident delivery, the Choke EP established them convincingly enough as something removed from Guthrie's prior band – a tricky thing indeed. 2001's full-length Roulette improved on the promising debut. A singles collection, Casino, followed in early 2002. Russian Doll was the proper follow-up to Roulette, released in June of 2004.
Violet are a melodic rock/AOR band from Germany formed in 2020, releasing their debut album ‘Illusions’ in 2022.
