THAO AND MIRAH WITH THE MOST OF ALL, LED TO SEA, MARISA ANDERSON ( Wonder Ballroom , 128 NE Russell) Read our article on Thao and Mirah . VIVIAN GIRLS, NO JOY, BLOOD BEACH ( Holocene , 1001 SE Morrison) The ladies of Vivian Girls purvey an increasingly mature output of solid music influenced as much by the Ramones as by '60s-era girl groups. All the energy and harmonizing, and virtually none of the [...]

this week i also saw (but ran out of time to scrawl here on): vivian girls: love the record on the treasure trove that is in the red, all vaselinesey and ramonesey. live it's louderlouderlouder, distorto rawk from three very nice young instrument swapping ladies. a barely intelligible noise pop version of the shaggs at points.

Il y avait cette dame d'un certain age qui collé serré à moi dans le metro l'autre matin, faisait les mots fléchés du 20 minutes avec insistance ses fesses collaient pour passer le temps j'en profitai pour lire mon horoscope sur son journal : Scorpion un changement important de direction pourrai vous entrainer dans un tout nouveau challenge Ce genre de choses que l'on lit sans trop d'importance, je ne savais pas trop ce que ça pourrait être, puis quelques semaines plus tard je recevais une invitation de la part d'une boite de production américaine célèbre, je pensais [...]

Vivian Girls - Tell The World [My Space link ] Don't forget to vote for your best downloaded track of 2008.
"TELL THE WORLD", VIVIAN GIRLS (de "Vivian Girls", Mauled by Tigers) E eis que Brooklyn entra em cena. O segundo single do álbum homónimo -- bonito álbum, por sinal -- é mais uma revisitação às memórias auditivas de há 15 ou 20 anos, porventura mais copista e menos genuína que o caso dos No Age, mas não deixa de ser uma bela canção, que é o que importa nesta lista.
Sweden's Love Is All have been one of my indie pop crushes for quite some time, and I've never had the pleasure of seeing them rock out live, but that will all change this Sunday at Nectar! They'll be performing with non other than Brooklyn's toast of the town, Vivian Girls (who have been slowly working their way under my skin for weeks now). read more

Bonsoir, Le weekend dernier caissière m'a abandonné -je ne l'appelle pas caissière en réalité- -d'ailleurs personne ne m'appelle caissier, mise à part vicent et gonzo- alors je me suis acheté du coca, une pizza buitoni (dégueu), et des ferrero rochers chez ed et j'ai regardé des séries, un documentaire, j'ai passé quelques coups de fil, et j'ai vu un clip. Le lundi matin elle était de retour,
There's something about Brooklyn's Vivian Girls that makes everything in my world a little bit better. Sure, the girl group goodness is well worth writing home and telling Mom about...but that's not it specifically. The thought of spending a Saturday night in one of their bedrooms and listening to The Wipers is pretty righteous as well...but there's more to it that I just can't put a finger on. Check out their video for the song "Tell The World" below and perhaps you'll understand what I mean. If having three girls in the band named Cassie Ramone, [...]
SOTC roots for the home team. So does Impose Magazine 's Jeremy Krinsley. Vivian Girls get mauled by a bear!?! Vampire Weekend continue to rule the known universe, claiming their third night at the cavernous Terminal 5 after selling out their first two . They also won a Q Award for one of their music videos in the UK, appeared on the soundtrack of Nick and Norah , bailed [...]

We've extolled the virtues of Vivian Girls here before . In case you were hesitant to take advantage of their show at the Nerve Center, you are gonna get a boatload of new chances to experience them in the coming month, starting this Wednesday at the Ottobar with locals Baby Venom. MP3: Vivian Girls - Blind Spot (Daisy Chain cover) from the I Can't Stay 73 Tour dates & video for "Tell the World": Fri-Sep-26 Memphis, TN GONER [...]

No, it's not your speakers. That buzzing, lo-fi romp resonating from the speakers is meant to sound that way. Vivian Girls are a recent find for me, labelmates of Jay Reatard , Black Lips , King Khan and other In the Red bands I don't know but deserve mention for moniker alone: Lamps , Sonic Chicken 4 , Pussy Galore . These Brooklynite plain janes play quick, reverb-heavy rock with nods towards mod and shoegaze acts of the past. If you like The Raveonettes , [...]

The much hyped about Vivian Girls , who do a decent job at channeling and Black Tambourine and Tiger Trap , will return to Los Angeles in November. The purpose? To support the re-release of In the Red , the trio's debut album which quickly sold out its limited run earlier this year. Check out their recently released video for "Tell the World." Not the greatest clip ever made, [...]
Just a simple post for the weekend about a simple video for a great song. Directed by Timothy Fiore, everything you ever wanted to know about their video shoot can be found in our interview with them. Like the part where the Girls "turn to discussion of the practical considerations of their forthcoming video shoot for "Tell the World" in the Brooklyn woods. Would they have enough extras? Would extras be more likely to show up on a Thursday or Friday night? Would they even be able to find the spot without becoming [...]
On the opposite end of the depression scale, we have the uber hot act of the moment The Vivian Girls . If Poppy's sister (see post below) thinks that she's not happy enough, she wouldn't know what to make of the stone-faced Vivian Girls. Off the top, I like'em though. There aren't enough shoegaze grrrrl types in music and this song has a Joy Division-like coldness to it, which there also isn't enough of these days. The video is hilarious, and I like how they maintain their Steve Carrell demeanor even when there are dancing bears and [...]
