Vivian Girls Latest News

Tender Trap     Tonight I want a gig. Any gig. In the end, due to timings I find that I have snubbed two free events (Japanese Voyeurs at Hoxton Bar & Grill, oOoOO at Old Blue Last) and am instead here at the Garage to see The Primitives. Again. It’s a happy choice. I’ve not been in this venue since its refurbishment more than a year ago. It’s deceptively...
I love this performance of Arthur Baker’s ‘You Can Make Me Feel Bad’ by Frankie Rose & The Outs. It features on the ex-Vivian Girls/Crystal Stilts/Dum Dum Girls drummer and friend’s self-titled debut album out now. More at memphis-industries.com.
In the Red’s profile may have risen in recent years through releases by King Khan & BBQ, Vivian Girls and Jay Reatard, but for years the L.A. label’s been buttering your croissant with permanently cool, stylishly unfashionable garage-rawk like what this here Reigning Sound band makes. Frontman Greg Cartwright (who had the wheel on Shangri-La Mary Weiss’s comeback record)...
Frankie Rose and The Outs by Tim Griffin   The Luminaire shuts at the end of the year, so this is my last chance to savour the place. I’ve not been uncritical of the venue in the past, as I’ve always associated it with a frustratingly lax approach to band timings. However, I’m still sad to see it go. As a breathless and sweating Hawnay Troof exclaims later in the evening...
  Von Haze by Drew Cox I’m standing in the dry grass dustbowl that is Shoreditch Park. I’m watching three drummers and a phalanx of guitarists bash and thrash their way through a series of tunes. This is Action Beat, the self-styled ‘Noise Band from Bletchley”. We are here for the 1-2-3-4 Shoreditch Festival and sights such as this are eyed with idle contentment by...

Vivian Girls MP3s

Like Whales Swimming In Wine Cassie Ramone (Vivian Girls) and Kevin Morby (Woods) join forces with Nathanael Stark and Justin Sullivan in The Babies, a new garage-pop duo based in Brooklyn, New York. The band released a couple of 7″ singles last year and are about to drop their debut album. ‘Wild I’ is the latest single to flood the airwaves with Cassie’s voice sounding...
Pick Up Your Roller Skates Vivian Girl Katy Goodman just premiered this new track over on Gorilla Vs Bear. It’s from her collaboration with Cat Power’s keyboardist/guitarist Gregg Foreman. The band’s called All Saints Day and the song is titled ‘It’ll Come Around’. It sounds like they’ve both been hanging out in California, reeking of the same tropical...
Listen to two new songs from Vivian Girls’ sophomore LP Everything Goes Wrong at the group’s myspace page ("The End" + "Can’t Get Over You"). And in case you missed the first jam to surface from the record a few weeks back: mp3: vivian girls :: when i’m gone  
Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue 2009 was the year of the lo-fi girl-punk explosion, remember Vivian Girls, PENS, Wet Dog, Liechtenstein, Grass Widow, Dum Dum Girls and Pearl Harbor. Well it’s now rolled over into 2010 and there’s another band to add to that list of scuzzy all-girl groups. Las Robertas hail from San Jose, Costa Rica, perhaps a rather strange place to find a flourishing...
Last week we felt pretty lucky to catch one of three live sets from the new indie "supergroup" The Babies! Consisting of members of Vivian Girls and Woods, The Babies have had one tune on the internet for quite some time now, but seeing them do a full nine song set we kind of fell in love with the band and their pop-punk hooks and off key harmonies. It was a really energetic and fun...
