Violens "Amoral" + Live Dates

2010-09-01T08:26:00.001-07:00

Friends of Violens,

Touring with MGMT was amazing. We were all fans of "Congratulations" as soon as we heard it, but hearing the new songs night after night was really mind-blowing. Winding forests and green water lagoons of guitar and synth nutrition--it was incredibly satisfying.

Thanks to those wonderful dudes for asking us to join them once again, and to everyone who came out early to see us. It was the most fun we've had on tour BY FAR. Really nice to meet everyone who came to hang out with us after, and hope we will see you next time we're around.

For those of you who weren't able to make it to any of these shows, here's a quick clip that Matt Asti caught of us playing "Generational Loss" at the Burlington Vermont show;
