Vivian Girls
 
Another cool band. They remind me a bit of Aisler's Set and Electrelane, which is a good thing. Anyway, any thoughts etc?

i was about to start a thread about them today. yeah i like them a lot. i'll probably be seeing them next month.

never heard them, but comparisons to the aisler's set peak my interest, i love the last match.

I can't watch youtube at work. Are they girls? Are they called Vivian Girls? It's them, then.

If they are all girls then no. I'll look for them, again.

only heard them for the first time recently after having been aware of them for years, but i liked it a lot, their records are hard to come by though.
according to the internet the aisler's set are on hiatus since the members live in different cities and countries.

Really? I've paid next to nothing for their records. Just found them in record shop bins for a few pounds.

uhler 07.16.2008 11:14 PM

they are playing right by where i live on the 29th. i hope i don't have to work that day.

i have their new album and it's fucking amazing. they have a punkier black tambourine thing going on. it's probably my favorite record of the year so far.

there's a kind of interview with them in this online zine: http://tweeasfuck.com/TWEE_fanzine_01.pdf

i saw them at death by audio tonight and they were amazing as always. i gave the bass player a flower because she looked cute in her wipers shirt.

I'm seeing them with Tyvek and The Three Man Band on Sept 29th for $5

Very glad they're the first opener for the SY show at McCarren next weekend, even more glad they're playing the East Village Radio Music Festival Sept 6 with BORIS (Flying Lotus and High Places too among many others)!! Should be a great time.

Sometimes we get great concerts here for cheap. I'm passing on Faun Fables for $8 tonight. Not exactly my thing.

The festival with Boris is free, it's at the South Street Seaport and starts at around 1 I believe. Times New Viking and Wolf Eyes are the other openers for the SY show.
