'''Inviolet Row''' is an [[indie rock]] band from [[Las Vegas, Nevada]]. Formed in 2001 by [[Lee Scrivner]], Casey Johnson, Kevin Brewer, and [[Abe Millet]], the band released the albums ''Consolation Prizes'' (2002) and ''Nevertheless'' (2005),<ref name="twet"/> and continues to write new material.

==Founding==
Inviolet Row was founded by [[Lee Scrivner]] (guitar and vocals), Kevin Brewer (guitar), Casey Johnson (bass) and [[Abe Millet]] (drums) in [[Las Vegas, Nevada]] in 2001. Early that year they began writing and recording songs for what was to become their debut album, Consolation Prizes.<ref name="one"/> Millett left the band while the album was being mixed to devote more time to other projects, eventually joining [[Third Eye Blind]] in 2008. The mixing and recording of their debut took over a year because of personnel changes and technical glitches,<ref name="twet"/> and during this time [[Ronnie Vannucci Jr.]] briefly sat in as a replacement drummer, just weeks before joining [[The Killers]].<ref name="one"/>

===''Consolation Prizes''===
''Consolation Prizes'' was released in 2002<ref name="nevertheless"/> to largely positive reviews. ''[[The Las Vegas Weekly]]'' compared the band to [[The Psychedelic Furs]],<ref name="one"/> and another review drew positive comparisons to [[The Church (band)|The Church]] and [[Radiohead]], saying "Front man Lee Scrivner's lyrics are just as lovely and often as obscure as those of [[Steve Kilbey]], the Church's lead singer and bassist."<ref name="twet"/> [[The Big Takeover]] likened Scrivner's singing to that of [[Sunny Day Real Estate]] frontman [[Jeremy Enigk]].<ref name="serp"/> Paul Sinnott, formerly of the English rock band Family of Free Love, joined as permanent drummer after the album's release.

"Orange Horns," a track from ''Consolation Prizes'', was featured in [[Magnet (magazine)|''Magnet'']]'s ''New Music Sampler (2003)''.<ref name="magnet"/>

===''Nevertheless''===
A second studio album, ''Nevertheless'', was released in the summer of 2005.<ref name="one"/><ref name="real"/> To record the album, the band tried unconventional recording approaches, such as putting microphones in a clothes dryer and recording a variety of drum pedal squeaks and reverberating sliding glass doors. Besides the usual rock ensemble, the recordings also used a back-masked 19th century [[psaltery]].<ref name="cdone"/>

Scrivner relocated to London after the release of ''Nevertheless'' to pursue a doctorate at the [[University of London]],<ref name="scrivh"/> but the band continues to write and record material for a forthcoming album in a Las Vegas studio.<ref name="cdone"/>
