"Bombs Over Broadway" Film Clip Directed By Katie Ridley, Edited By Noel Biff.. ..
From the depths of Brisbane’s conservative right, also known as the one and only suburb of Mansfield, fully encompassed by the holy postcode, 4122, comes Violent Soho. The members of the group include Luke Boerdam (Vocals, Guitars), James Tidswell (Guitars), Luke Henery (Bass) and Michael Richards (Drums).
Violent Soho began a few years ago as a means of playing music together for four boys, then in their teens, who wanted to be able to embrace an 80’s and 90’s punk–grunge impact to their music without disregarding the ethic that ideally follows from such influence. The band has since then gone on its way to creating an energetic live show. From its beginnings, playing shows at outer-suburban pubs and rehearsing and recording demos in their parents' garages; the band has grown not by striving to achieve musical extravagance or stability, but by being a real band, by keeping its own principle and belief and sense of mateship within itself.
In late 2005, the band released locally its first EP "Pigs & TV", which received moderate success. Now, with "Pigs & TV" all but sold out, Violent Soho is proud to announce the independent release of their debut album "We Don’t Belong Here", a collection of dark, honest, guitar driven pop.
In between releases Violent Soho has also toured extensively as well as played shows with such bands as The Grates, Grinspoon, Faker, Magic Dirt, Butterfingers, The Mess Hall, The Black Keys (US), Black Francis (US), Jackson United (US), Nashville Pussy (US), Electric Eel Shock (JAP), The Vasco Era, Bliss ‘N’ Eso, Rocket Science, Cosmic Psychos, Celibate Rifles, Hard-Ons, Six Ft Hick and many countless others. As well as playing Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne on this year’s Laneway Festival Circuit. The band has a heavy work ethic. One which only seems to be able to work by the fact that Violent Soho is really just a unit, one band of mates.
