The March Violets - Big Soul Kiss

Unreleased song, most were only ever played live.

The March Violets began in 1981 as one of Leeds' four famous drum machine bands, alongside the Sisters of Mercy, Three Johns and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. The Violets favored stark, primitive rhythm-box beats (as did the others), overlaid by Loz Elliott's heavy bass throb and Tom Ashton's inventively droning guitar (reminiscent of Magazine's John McGeoch). What set this quartet apart was the unique interplay ( la X or the Airplane) between the two complementary lead vocalists — big, bearded Simon Denbigh and enigmatic Rosie Garland. His dark, commanding intonations intertwined with her eerie soprano wailing, imbuing the simplistic material with a strident, almost dissonant mystery.

Also - the snippet of this song that was on Tom Ashton's March Violets site was clearly a different recording to this and a much better one than this imo - where can that be found now??

[thegyndy]

Thanks for uploading! I love the guitar line on this and on face of the dragonfly - did they do a studio recording of them both?
