Well, nice site...when will the counsel page be up again? Hi to Erik-Jan, Ken Harley and other Napster friends who have helped me complete my VB collection of songs, sessions and gigs - In Canada, we get no VB concerts :0( [hint, hint]
Keep it loud!

Date: Thursday 29 March 2001 Hi there, Date: Monday 26 March 2001 Hello everybody who reads this,
I was at the concert in Paradiso. I had an awesome evening. Although it was very busy, I enjoyed the gig a lot. For me it was a long travel to get to the concert, because I life in the east side of the country (Wierden, that's near Almelo, Enschede). It took me almost 2 hours to get there, so I think it's a pitty that the concert wasn't that long. But anyway, Michael + rest of the band, if you ever read this, I want to thank you for an awesome evening.
And Richard, thank you again for oranizing a ticket for me although the concert was already sold out. I appresiate it a lot.
Lot's of love and blessings,
Jolanda Timmerman
Date: Monday 26 March 2001 hey hey you all,
antonie here.... what a week it was. for obvious reasons paradiso will be my highlight, but every time i saw the violets strap on their guitars, order their mdīs and shake those tamborines magic happened... amazing...
and that is all i can say for now.... i'm too blown away...
and danny, i had a blast rocking with you guys...
antonie
Date: Friday 23 March 2001 booladad checking in!

God's grace & peace to you all

Date: Thursday 22 March 2001 hello to the underground.
last night was sooo cool. but much too short. only twenty minutes... i wanted to see more, hear more and feel more... plus michael battled the dutch interviewer valiantly as well.
i cannot wait for tonight. the first bona fide full-length gig i'll be able to be at this tour... and together with glorybox. and in paradiso wich is just a kick-ass club.... yeeehaaaa.... bring it on...
antonie
Date: Thursday 22 March 2001 Mister Gribbley again... My girlfriend (who couldn't make it to the gig and wanted a souvenir) was happy with the M shirt, so I'm happy again.
Oh, and hi audiogirl.
Date: Wednesday 21 March 2001 The ClubLek webcast was beautiful...
kicked ass, for a number of reasons.
so raw and so worshipfully melodic...
and it was cool to get to hang out in a club too, while in reality being in the States in the middle of the afternoon...
hello to rainlilly and ken, fellow Online Underground Nerd Fans...
thank you, richard, for this site, especially until we get our beloved council page back....
~audiogirl
Date: Wednesday 21 March 2001 Well, it happened. I have seen The Violet Burning and they were wonderful. The set in Camden was too short and I was feeling a bit ill so didn't end up dancing, but from where I was standing at the back it was an impressive show, and the live versions of Oceana and Low took my breath away. And I met some cool people, too - so hello to any of them who might read this. And there was a decent turnout (despite the lack of publicity) so hopefully that'll be an encouragement to come to the UK again before so long this time.
One thing though - I got a M T-shirt by mistake, so if anyone's going to the gigs the next few days and fancies getting a L or XL and swapping (or got a larger size and wanted an M) then please contact me at jonathan.south@merant.com and I'll be massively grateful.

Richard [- menelaos -]
Date: Tuesday 20 March 2001 hey you all...
yesterday the violets spent a day recording in the studio for dutch live radio, to be broadcast on good friday... DO NOT MISS IT, IT IS EPIC!!! or as michael said, "it was bitchin'".
songs include "invitacion fountain", "crush", "underwater", "my god has rescued me", "maker of the stars", "oceana", "the killing", "forty wait", a track i canīt remember and an exclusive instrumental track called "the skull" which is a beautifull piece of vintage gothic, vibe driven emotion...
keep your ears open...

Date: Tuesday 13 March 2001 HI everyone...

Date: Sunday 11 March 2001 Hi There!
Are you out there? You, having a ticket left for the concert of The violet Burning and Glorybox in Paradiso Amsterdam... I am looking for you! Please mail me: jnobel@zonnet.nl! If you have a ticket left for me!
Date: Sunday 11 March 2001 Hello there. One week to go before Europe 2001 tour of the Violet Burning will kick of (in Frysland, of all places). Tickets have sold out rapidly. The star of the Violet Burning is rising fast here in our underwater country.
Latest news: March 21 the Violets will play at Clublek, Studio Amstel and the concert will be aired live primetime on Dutch national radio (3FM) and (!) the internet in audio and video. Check back to find the url for that show here. It will be on March 21st 10:00 pm (europe time) and 02:00 pm PST. More details to follow.
Please pray that these concerts will touch people's hearts and help the Violets to break through secular here in Europe.
grace,
Richard
Date: Tuesday 06 March 2001 Well, the London gig's confirmed. Tickets are on the door only though, apparently, so I can't prebook. Oh well, just have to be early I guess. Anyone know things like whether there's a support, what time the band'll actually start/finish? I can't remember seeing many other UK people on the Council, but if anyone wants to meet up there?
-Jon gonna see the Violets at last...
Date: Friday 02 March 2001 o.k.

Date: Wednesday 07 February 2001 Mister Gribbley again...
Transport would be a problem with getting to the Amsterdam show, plus accommodation, plus not being able to tell friends to come along, etc, etc. Been waiting a while for a UK show, too. Shame. Oh well, maybe Word will persuade them to play here to promote the album, or something.
-Jon.
Date: Tuesday 06 February 2001 Just wanted to tell all you Dutch fans out there that the tickets for the Paradiso concert are running fast. The show is almost sold out. So make sure you get some tickets, especially all you guys who couldn't get in Stairway to Heaven the other night... love, Richard
Date: Tuesday 06 February 2001 I'm a fake-fan.. cause i was playing in the box with my dinky-toys when the violets were bringing out their selftitled album... My box-ring played "fever", i think that makes me a true fan.. No, i am just boggling around i just wanna say: whats the deal Ilaria ? Don't be mad at me, cause i don't want you to be mad at me... I don't wanna make a deal of this. So if you want to respond email me at rianne@thevioletburning.net. Take care, Rianne
Date: Tuesday 06 February 2001 Hi Antonie, what you write about the Violets visit to the UK is correct. Most likely it's not going to be a show but just
a meeting with Word UK who is one of the distributors of Violet Burning records
in Europe.
And... please come back later this week for the special Violet Underwater E-card
Service that I hope to launch !
Greetings, Richard
PS. Mr.Gribbley, why don't you come over to Amsterdam March 22nd for the Violets
show?
Date: Tuesday 06 February 2001 hey mister gribbley,
as far as i know tvb will be in england, but just for a day and that's record company stuff, no shows...
btw, richard, is there any way to make this site faster????
antonie
Date: Monday 05 February 2001 Hi folks, Mister Gribbley just checking in to see if there's any new news (and in particular whether there are any gigs lined up in the UK - if there are, it'd be nice to hear in advance rather than waiting until they're sold out and then asking what I have to do to get on the guest list...)
Blessings to all, Jon.
Date: Saturday 03 February 2001 The funny thing is that a true fan (whatever that is) would probably think about
what you mention only a little but would not be too bothered about it. The best probably would be to be a true fan of the humble man from Nazareth.
Love,
Richard
Date: Friday 02 February 2001 it hurts me to see so much 'fake violet fans' in the netherlands :(
at the time of the cd 'the violet burning' nobody knew about them and now.........
they even play at WWR
:( :(
ilaria
Date: Wednesday 31 January 2001 The new album (Faith and Devotions of a Satellite Heart) will probably be
available somewhere this spring. Most likely April but that is only what I'm guessing. Through the labyrinth of links you can already view the cover art of it at the 'Pictures'-section. It will be modern worship in a true Violet Burning style. As soon as more info about the release date is available I will put the info on this site.
Keep the rock,
Menelaos (Richard)
Date: Wednesday 31 January 2001 does anyone know how to get the new cd? i ordered at shop.nl but they couldn't deliver it???????

Date: Monday 08 January 2001 hey all this is rainlilley back in malta :o)
sorry it's taken me soooo long to get onto this site, in europe i could see everything but not post here (something to do with net-cafes, etc. poop on them) anyhow, in malta it's taken me a week of trying 2x a day (at least, hehehe) to get to the Wall from the opening page, like mr. Grib said it's difficult at times...well i'm at passion_rain@hotmail.com in case i don't find my way here very often (due to the silly computers here on this island!)...and i love banana ice cream stuff...but something about strawberry (and coffee stuff sometimes and just plain ol' vanilla beans!!) just kills me, esp. w/ the real fruit, it has to be there...love spumoni...and this one goes out to audiogirl (; MINTY CHOC CHIP!! oh yeah...cookies and cream was a fave as a kid...sheesh i just love ice cream!! choc fudge at BR is great -- but no BR in malta so not too much reminiscing there...anyhow, love you all, miss you all (council) and keep on ROCKin...psalm 29;

Date: Saturday 06 January 2001 Who is flying dutchman??? Anyway, yes i'm very much ready for take-off.. two more weeks to go, can't wait. Kinda scary as well, so please guys pray for me! The malaria-pills haven't made me sick (yet) so that's a good start, right?! Don't know if I'll be checking this site again before I leave, so let's say I'll see you all in April (yes that means I'm gonna miss out on TVB in March... sniff).
Shalom,
Petri
Date: Thursday 04 January 2001 Hehe, I hope you can erase postings here...my previous one has been posted three times! But as my grandma used to say: all good things go in three (so does our Lord). But I forgot two things there:
1. My favourite icecream would be selfmade ice from 'De Hoop', an icebar nearby. I usually pick lemon, straciatella and a random third one. But during the winter I prefer ice that's thick enough to skate on.
2. And my name is Arjan aka, Brandje
ps. does anyone know if the council will ever be online again?
Date: Thursday 04 January 2001 An awesome site for an awesome band!
Can't wait to see them in March...
Date: Wednesday 03 January 2001 Hi there all ya guys. Flying Dutchman is here. How are you all? God bless for the new year 2001. Lots of rock and roll. Petri are you ready for your trip?

By the way, I wish everybody who ever reads this, a very blessed new year.
My favourite ice, hmmmm, let's see, vanilla but with banana and chocolat on it.
See ya,
Jolanda
Date: Wednesday 03 January 2001 Hi everybody! A new year with (hopefully) a new start. Nice page with lots of info, though in history, the albums, by Plaste und Elaste :-) the track numbers are wrong (remember?). Anyway, I would be a fool to let that stop me from liking this place. (though in honesty I like to think nothing can beat the official homepage, sorry). Ice, I just love ice. Choco in
particular. Or a sunday caramel met nootjes. Gods bless everybody.
