Sweet City Action
Sweet City Action is an indie rock band from Gainesville, Florida. Take 2 parts guitar, 1 part bass and 1 part drums, add a splash of mandolin, violin and keyboard, shake violently, and out comes Sweet City Action. They put some quirk into indie pop and take a twist on alternative rock, with unique and exciting results.

The band began when Vilma and Christina met in violin studio at the University of Florida. Tired of metronomes and etudes, they decided to pick up some rockier instruments and find a garage. Brett provided a practice space and drums, and Quinn provided a synthesizer and guitar. Together they create garage band rock&roll in the student ghetto of Gainesville, Florida.
Following the release of their first album, ["Open EP"] October 2007, Sweet City Action promoted the EP throughout Florida and branched out to other parts of the country. Tracks from the EP can be found on MySpace, Sonicbids and streaming live at Grooveshark.
Spring, 2008 included gigs in Tampa, Tallahassee, Sarasota, and a 10-day tour which included stops in Gainesville, FL., Jacksonville, FL., Panama City, FL., Pascagoula, MS., Austin, TX., and Houston, TX., In Austin, TX., they played the Invasion of the GoGirls at SXSW and a gig on downtown 6th street.
Sweet City Action is currently working on an LP and will continue to play shows throughout Florida, if you would like us to play in your town, get in contact.
