-[[Michael J. Pritzl]], [[Michael Misiuk]], and Kirk Gentry had previously played together in a band called [[The Children]]. That band stopped playing when Pritzl left because he didn't feel he was right with God. Around 1988, Pritzl felt he had gotten right with God. Gentry asked him to get back into music because of his songwriting gift, and they formed The Violet Burning with Misiuk and Lonnie Tubbs.

Gentry asked him to get back into music because of his songwriting gift, and they formed The Violet Burning with Misiuk and Lonnie Tubbs.
 After the first year together, the band was playing in clubs around Los Angeles. They had not even considered playing churches. At some point, Misiuk felt they could sign with a major label. The rest of the band did feel that was where God was leading them, so Misiuk decided to do his own thing. Misiuk and his wife Laura (also Pritzl's sister) formed [[Acoustic Shack]] and signed with [[Blonde Vinyl Records]]. The Violet Burning was helping acoustic Shack out by having them as an opening act.
 One night a number of pastors from different churches came to watch the band at a club called Bogarts. Chris Wimber was one of those pastors. He met the band and developed a friendship. Later on, Wimber invited Pritzl and Tubbs to a event at his church (Anaheim Vineyard) to see a certain speaker. On the way there separately, both Pritzl and Tubbs felt like they should make this church their home church.
 John Wimber, the pastor of the Anaheim Vineyard, took an interest in the guys that always came dressed in black. The band had been planning on recording a demo in the Vineyard studios to shop to different labels. John Wimber suggested they could form a label and call it what the band wanted. Pritzl suggested [[New Breed]]. This new label was formed through The Violet Burning so they could work with bands that were committed to ministry and evangelism.

 The band recorded and released //Chosen// in 1989. Two weeks after the album came out, Gentry Gentry graduated from college and got married a week later. He left the band in September 1990. Lonnie Tubbs brother Shawn had played on about half of //Chosen//. He recommitted his life to God three days after playing on the album. Six months after that he joined the band. Shawn Tubbs has a twin brother named Scott who eventually became the bass player. Jamie Eichler sang on //Chosen// and has started singing live with the band after that.
-In the early 90s, the band played on two worship recordings in the Vineyard Church's //Touching the Father's Heart// series. The first was //Touching the Father's Heart #7: Hear Our Cry (Psalm 102)// in 1990 and the second was //Touching the Father's Heart #12: Throne of Grace// in 1991.
+In the early 90s, various band members played on two worship recordings in the Vineyard Church's //Touching the Father's Heart// series. Pritzl recorded the second set of //Touching the Father's Heart #7: Hear Our Cry (Psalm 102)// in 1990, while the entire band recorded the second set of //Touching the Father's Heart #12: Throne of Grace// in 1991.
