Kicking off what we plan to be regular blues social dancing events with live music in Edinburgh, this evening will include at two sets from one of our favourite local bands: The Violent Mood Swings!
The Violent Mood Swings is not just a band but a concept.
Drawing from different players over the years to form what essentially is a Mood Swing musically speaking. The band has a core of players but the line up changes from time to time depending on availability and then that’s when you get your Mood Swing.
Lead Singer and writer of the Music Baz Simpson has been involved from day one and today the core of the band also involves Danny Appolinari on lead guitar and the two lads from Edinburgh’s notable band The Dark Jokes with Ru Morrison on Bass and Paul Dennigton on drums.
The band is hard to pigeon hole as all the players bring lots of different things to the table but are all players with a lot of skill and flare.
Genres get crossed over and we suppose if there was a genre for The VMS then it would certainly be Dark Murder Tango Gypsy Jazz Blues.
