Show DetailsDoors: 6:30PMAdvance: $10.00Day of Show: $10.00Artist InformationLike Violet is based around sisters Caitlin and Carly Kalafus formerly of the teen pop band Kicking Daisies. In KD the girls toured the country playing Bamboozle, Warped, Six Flags, HardRock Café, The Hollywood Troubadour and more. They also appeared on National TV shows and in nationally aired TV commercials. Their song “Breathing” (written by Caitlin) made it to #34 on the Billboard charts and their CD “Kicking Daisies”, which featured songs composed mainly by Caitlin and Carly sold at Walmarts across the country.Now with Like Violet, the girls are breaking out in a new and much more mature way. “Touring with bands like The Ready Set, The Downtown Fiction and The Summer Set made Carly and I realize that it was time to grow up and play the music in our hearts”, said Caitlin. Carly adds, “It’s not that we didn’t love being in KD but there comes a time when the music changes and you mature both personally and musically.”So with the end of their time in KD, Caitlin and Carly decided to pursue a new sound and image. Some have called it “Fire and Ice” comparing Carly’s fiery vocals, spot on playing and sassy attitude ( plus at the time her red hair ) and Caitlin’s cool demeanor and impressive musicianship. Originally, the band started as a quartet with Carly just fronting the band vocally but as time went on it became clear that the undeniable sibling connection was missing. So Carly returned to bass and with guitarist Shaepes (pronounced “Shapes”) in tow you have something new and exciting in Like Violet.In only their first five months as a band the group has played some impressive shows supporting bands such as; Sublime, Cypress Hill, Mutemath (winning over the fickle Mutemath fans in an impressive manner), The After Party, Hollywood Ending and many more. In addition, they’ve headlined or co-billed nearly 50 shows up and down the Northeast corridor from Philly to Boston with many impressive shows in NYC. Currently Like Violet is in the studio recording new music and will be releasing a limited edition vinyl EP on Unbuckled Records in early 2013. They are also working with the creativeteam at the legendary Sigma Studios in Philadelphia. Along with the recording, the band is also looking forward to a Spring Tour and is looking to schedule a national tour in the Summer of 2013. LISTENCometa consists of twin brother guitarists/songwriters Gareth and Grant Cometa, bassist Haroon Ramzan, and drummer Wes Long. Since their formation in 2005, they have performed on such notable stages as the El-n-Gee, Toad’s Place, and Webster Theater; and have won 1st and 2nd place prizes for numerous Battle-of-the-Bands.‘Three Songs’ EP and ‘Courage’ single are available now LISTENSteve Rogers’ Neighborhood: so we’re a band. and we play music. and we’re also superheroes kinda sometimes. we have secret identities. as soon as we know more about ourselves, you’ll know more. LISTENOne Rainy Day is three friends who like to make music influenced by the great 90′s Era. We bring the dark goth, the grungy kick, the good old rock n’ roll that you love! We like to think of it as “artistic grunge.” With heroes such at Tom Morello, Mike Starr, and Peter Steele. You’re in for the real treat known as One Rainy Day!We are more than a band, we’re family.
