This cartoon-violence.com website is as old as our band — going on 15 years soon. It was designed for desktop computers — which literally don’t exist anymore, and we just haven’t done the work to make the content mobile-friendly. So, especially since nobody reads the content anyway, we have set up a brand new mobile-friendly website for 2023!
Please update your bookmarks (hah!)
Cartoon Violence is on tour September 2023 to support Decaying Tigers and Trivial Menace.

$4 Music Sale! – 2018 Tour Dates – Pre-Order New EP
Greetings and salutations, fans of Cartoon Violence! After taking some time to rock the cosmos beyond Earth’s reach, we are back for a few very special announcements. Not only are we announcing right here and now our upcoming EP “Cartoon Violence Has Got You Covered”, we’re also possibly coming to your town (if you live in Portland, California, or Vegas!) Our new EP is chock full of nothing but covers and tributes, so you’re bound to like it more than those scary new, original songs you’re used to hearing us play. You’ll hear tunes from David Bowie, They Might Be Giants, Oingo Boingo, Depeche Mode and Steven Universe!!!
But we’re not done blowing your minds yet! Not even close! Since this month marks the four year anniversary of the release of our epic full-length studio album “Robots and Dinosaurs”, we’re making all our albums available for just FOUR FUCKING DOLLARS!!! It’s a limited time offer unless of course, we forget to switch it back to its regular price, so go and give us your hard-earned money!
So there you go: a new EP is coming soon, we tour at the start of March, and our entire catalog is on sale for $4. It doesn’t get much better than this! Oh wait, IT TOTALLY FUCKING DOES! Here’s a sneak peek track off Cartoon Violence Has Got You Covered! Each time you listen or share the news on your social media we take another bite out of musical crime!
2 Phat II Fail is a 7-song EP album of original songs released in 2017. These songs all started with drum and synth sounds produced in the LSDJ software on a Nintendo GameBoy, representing the studio version of the live sound that the band has been cultivating over the past few years.

This week BandCamp announced they will donate all their proceeds from sales today to the ACLU. We support this whole-heartedly. Not only is all our music available on BandCamp, but if you buy any of our music there today, we will donate half of our profits to Planned Parenthood.
All of our back catalog is available at cartoonviolins.bandcamp.com where you can also pre-order our brand new 7-song EP, 2 Phat II Fail, out later this month.
This track was sequenced immediately following Bowie’s death in January of 2016. We performed it live with Mike Ackman (Together We Are Robots) at Freq.Fest.5 in downtown LA the following weekend, and then we recorded this version for a chiptune Bowie tribute album which you can buy for a minimum $5 donation to MacMillan Cancer Support, a UK cancer charity.
See Cartoon Violence live in LA on day three of Freq.Fest.v.5.0, 8bitLA’s yearly chiptune festival, Jan 15-17 2016. We are the first band Sunday night. $10. Doors at 7pm.
3-day pass: $25 – RSVP on Facebook
Cartoon Violence will be at 8bitLA’s yearly chiptune festival, Freq.Fest.v.5.0 in LA on January 17th. Festival starts on Jan. 15.
