The Violet Trade Chichester, UK
Violet Trade were with us between 1990-93. They made melodic indie pop and were an erratic joy to behold
live.
Inspired by bands like The La's, Stone Roses and The Cure (85-92 period) these 3 albums take in all the best demo and live tracks from those 3 fun packed years in Chichester. May you enjoy their analogue lunacy, finally available in the digital age.
RIP Ted Tedman.
