12.21: Cold Violets play the Troubadour; listen to new single “Set Me Up”

Hot off the release of their single "Set Me Up", Cold Violets will perform a show at the Troubadour on December 21st. The band put out "Set Me Up" and its B-side "Stay With Me" last week, providing fans with a one-two punch of new material. "Set Me Up" provides a taste of dark upbeat pop, while "Stay With Me" delivers a post-punk rumble rife with energy. The two songs make up Cold Violets’ first release since the 2018 EP The Silhouette; they preview potential new work from the group at the turn of the decade. Other bands and artists on the bill with Cold Violets on the 21st include Creating Monsters, Charlie Taylor, Kapali Long, and Alec Reid; head to the Troubadour on Saturday to see them all.
