About Me

Contact us for gigs etc at [email protected]


Violetones are a three-piece band from Penweddig School in Aberystwyth.
For 2 and a bit years we've gigged extensively in a wide range of venues to a wide range of audiences in and around Aberystwyth, recorded a successful demo, practice/jam regularly and are loving every bit of it. Gigs here and there are always being planned, so check back regularly or click on bulletins to be in the know.


We've just released our EP "Mothership Violetone" so just click on the link above if you like what you hear and want to support the band. Physical copies will be available from Andy's records in Aber and at future gigs.. Below you can see videos taken of our prep and performance in Square Festival. Enjoy!
