In 2007, when Mike and Tony met, the band, Violet Gibson, was born, but unbeknownst to them at the time, under a different name. After an intense writing phase, the two of them, along with and thanks to singer Matthew Brodtsy’s entering the group, brought to life this group’s first Demo when it was originally called Last Vegas. The Demo was distributed in various underground venues, where they performed live, with excellent success, and not just for the music in itself, but also the band’s ability to do live performances was confirmed and, successfully so. When the band decided to begin writing the material for its first record, it experienced two major changes: the group’s musicians, with guitarists El Taso and Joe Marchi joining and then its name change to VIOLET GIBSON. It took almost 1 year for the writing and recording of the record with its 12 “never-before” published compositions and the band’s cover rendition of the renowned song by Stevie Wonder: SUPERSTITION.
The record is called AMERICAN CIRCUS and was recorded at STUDIO 73 (Extrema, At the Soundawn, The Hormonauts), mixed at MB STUDIOS by Mike Bettali and then masterized at STUDIO 73 with Riccardo “Paso” Pasini’s supervision.
