Violet Skies has re-submerged after sometime of hiding, and is now writing brand new material.

Violet Skies began in 2007 when friends Samuel-Elexis and Fresh Harper began making music together, they shared a disgust for mainstream and love of experimenting across genres.

Fresh had drummed from a young age and was skilled in dance breakbeats. Samuel-Elexis was a skilled pianist with an interest in electronics.

They self recorded and produced they're debut release 'Dark Harvest', a 7 track EP. It was mastered by an outside source who was never credited. It was originally independently released on cassette and became popular in the Australian underground music scene. It was later rereleased on cassette and CD on the indie label "Velvet Sky" (co-founded by Samuel-Elexis and Starr Heartly).

Violet Skies toured the east coast of Australia and New Zealand for the following year following their underground success of Dark Harvest, playing at House Parties and warehouses.

The subsequent year Violet Skies were asked to tour the US with Crystal Palace who had underground success with their 2nd Album "Dawn". They scored a second support tour with "Status Death" whom they met in Portland whilst touring with Crystal Palace.

In late 2008 the band went on hiatus when Samuel-Elexis decided to stay in L.A. where he was given a residency at a cafe in Cali doing spoken word and poetry.

Upon his re-arrival to Australia and was reunited with Fresh and the duo were approached by Starr Heartly (Guitarist of Crystal Palace, who had just recently broke up). The three of them with bass player Jamie Pieson formed a new band, Toxic Blue, a simplistic rock band with tight Rhythms. Toxic Blue released one full length Album "Crisis" on Velvet Sky records but disbanded after only one tour.

Whilst on tour with Toxic Blue Samuel had started work on a new Violet Skies release to follow the success Dark Harvest obtained three years earlier. In mid 2010 the single "Fuck Me" was released on 7" with B side "metal", the toured Austrlia and New Zealand again after this release and had mixed responses. These tracks were later remastered and released on a four track EP with two new tracks. This release became popular in the underground scene in Portland and Seattle. With this success Violet Skies were again asked to tour with Status Death.

On the back of this tour they were offered to tour France with Déchirement, However Fresh decided to stay in Portland when Status Death offered him a position in the band when their drummer left because of "creative differences".

Samuel played the tour as a solo artist, still preforming under Violet Skies, he spent the next year in Paris where he produced Déchirement's latest album. In recent time Samuel-Elexis has returned to Australia and is currently living in Newtown where he is working on the newest Violet Skies release.
