No Violins

about

No Violins are an Australian group formed in Rockhampton, Queensland in 1989. Starting out in high school in 1989 the band played mainly to friends at private parties to test their live sound. The band began with Damian Cagney (vocals, guitar, saxophone); Chris Doherty (vocals, keyboards); Len Quinn (guitars); Glen Cummins (bass) and Alessandro Campobassi (drums). After recording this 4 track demo EP (Venerdi - using the Italian word for Friday - as the demo was recorded on a Friday) Paul Widt (vocals) joined the band and they played local clubs, pubs and entered in regional and state rock awards competition with moderate success. Playing mainly covers, they scored a couple of support acts for larger Australian acts (Jenny Morris and Frente) touring the area. The original guitarist Len Quinn was replaced with numerous others until James Woodward joined to stay with the band until the final gig on January 8th 1995. The band split in 1995 when members moved to other cities and explored different directions musically. The band's Venerdi EP had tracks written by all members, and had sounds influenced by late 80's Rock/Pop. The band reformed in 2020 to re-record new versions of the 4 songs from the 1991 Venerdi EP. The new version called Venerdi 30 (30 years after the original) is to be released on June 1st 2022.In 2020, the band reformed 'virtually' to re-record the Venerdi EP. The EP will be released to all streaming platforms and 100 edition limited vinyl release as well (in 20
