[edit] Band history
Scrivner and Johnson began writing and recording Consolation Prizes in Las Vegas in 2001. With Kevin Brewer on guitar and Abe Millett on drums, the foursome began gigging as Inviolet Row in the fall of that year at Las Vegas venues The Boston, Café Roma, Tramps, The Palms, The Cooler Lounge, Tom and Jerry's, and Burt's Tiki Lounge in Salt Lake City.
While Inviolet Row mixed Consolation Prizes, Millett left to form his own band. Seeking a replacement drummer, they were briefly joined by Ronnie Vannucci Jr. before he joined The Killers.
Consolation Prizes was released in 2002 to critical acclaim. The Las Vegas Weekly compared the band to The Psychedelic Furs, while national press The Big Takeover drew comparisons with The Church and likened Scrivner's singing to that of Sunny Day Real Estate frontman Jeremy Enigk.
After recruiting Sinnott, formerly of the English rock band Family of Free Love, they released Nevertheless in the summer of 2005.
Inviolet Row have shared the stage with The Killers, Doris Henson, The Rodeo Boys, Big Friendly Corporation, Slow to Surface and Jovis.
