Just Announced: Palma Violets return to Philly, play Johnny Brenda’s on May 8
FILED UNDER: Artists, Concert Previews, Events, News, Johnny Brenda's, Palma Violets
In case you missed their Philly debut on a chilly Tuesday night at Kung Fu Necktie last week, you’ll have a chance to catch buzzing UK rock band Palma Violets in a much more warmer climate. The band announced its spring tour dates this morning, and it comes to Johnny Brenda’s on Wednesday, May 8th. Their album 180 is out via Rough Trade Records on March 19, and it is a total blast – think the swagger and scuzzy fidelity of early Strokes married to totally catchy Brit-rock hooks a la The Buzzcocks. Rock out to their video for “Best of Friends” below.
