March Violets

This bunch were from Leeds and with their drum machine and doomy grave-digger schtick (later to be known as Goth) its hard to believe the sisters of mercy didnt borrow a lot from them.
I remember the singers looked a bit odd: a "big boned" guy with a beard and a skinny biker chick - but the dual vocals were brilliant - and this is an awesome set with all their hits from Colchester Uni (supporting  Danse Society)  .
I loved Crow Baby and I got my brother to paint a copy of the cover art onto an old tee-shirt which I fixed to the back of my leather jacket....(another one to file under "dik: fashion atrocities"...)
