about
Violet Nox is a Boston-based experimental noise band combining elements of electronica, post-punk and psychedelia to create an abstract yet mellifluous tapestry of tension & release. The quintet consists of Dez DeCarlo (formerly of Shiva Speedway and other projects) on guitar and vocals, Karen Zanes (The Freeways) on guitar and vocals, Andrew Abrahamson (Spectramotiv, Animal Hospital Ensemble) on electronic rhythms, and both Thor Maillet (Petridisch) and Kris Thompson (The Prefab Messiahs, Bobb Trimble, etc.) on synths. The original core trio (DeCarlo, Zanes, and Erik Jackson) came together in the fall of 2015 after having met and worked together briefly on a previous experimental project. Because of their ability to blend genres, they feel equally at home among the noise, electronic and psych-rock communities. In November 2016 they released their first official single “Snow King” and its accompanying video. Violet Nox seeks continued exploration, experimentation and expansion through their recordings, live sets and visuals. A five-song album recorded by Gary War is expected in Fall 2017.
