New Violators

New Violators "The Move" Directed by Darri Thorsteinsson



New Violators - Burma (live at Rockefeller / ByLarm 2009)New Violators formed in Trondheim, Norway during 2006.Originally a 5-piece, the band decided to streamlineand now consists of only three members:Per Borten, Even Granås and Haakon Marius Pettersen.They quickly became THE name to drop in Norwayand beyond, following an already legendary first show at Oslo's Mono Club.It came as no great

surprise that the band went onto attract the attention of various

tastemakersincluding Pitchforkmedia's Brandon Stosuy,who anointed

them his favourite Norwegian findat the summer's festivals in 2007.What followed was a whirlwind of activity, including various

high-profile festival appearances and a highly successful first trip

to the US in early 2007. While there, they played three sell-out shows

in New York(with unprecedented media interest for an as yet unsigned

band)and made no fewer than four appearances at SXSWprompting the

NME to name them as one of the 10 best new bands at the festival.The band went on to embark on a Norwegian and German tour in 2008 while

working on their long-awaited first studio album.Further critical acclaim

followed when New Violators performed during CMJ in New York last

October: "I will resort to begging: somebody, please, put out this band's record,"

Pitchforkmedia pleaded.Looks like the publication's wish is about to become a reality - the band's FIRST ALBUM is due to get a release February 23, 2009.

It will be released and distributed under license to Playground Music in Norway.2009 will see the band touring Norway, UK, US and Germany in support of

the new album.The songs from the album will also be available digitally through selected

MP3-shops and will be distributed in other countries in due course.Matthias SiefertMANAGEMENTBizarre Management - Matthias Siefertmatthias@bizarremanagement.comBOOKING (Norway)JS Artist - Jan Roger Andreassenjr@artist.noBOOKING (Germany)Target Concerts GmbH - Frank Ehrmannfrank@target-concerts.deNew Violators / Albumreviews:AdresseavisenDagbladetGroove.noNew Violators / Articles & Interviews:Adresseavisen!!!
