Vivian Girls Latest News

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)...
Aquarium Drunkard, Gorilla Vs Bear, Largehearted Boy, My Old Kentucky Blog and You Ain’t No Picasso have once again teamed up to bring you Hot Freaks!   The whole megillah is taking place during SxSW at the Mohawk and Club DeVille in Austin, Texas on March 20 and 21.

At the beginning of 2k8, I made a post about bands I did not listen to in 2k7. Now it is 2k9, and I will make a list of bands that I did not listen to in 2k8. It is important to understand that you are a consumer in a wide open marketplace. You allegedly have tons of options, with lots of music 2 listen 2. However, it is important 2 recognize that u usually ‘judge a band by itz name...

New track from Vivian Girls, taken from The World’s Lousy With Ideas 8. In related news, the girls recently recorded a 7" on an island in England and they liked Twilight the book better than Twilight the movie (via Twitter). mp3: vivian girls :: lake house [via]

Vivian Girls MP3s

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...
Song of the night: some enjoyably warped/slightly demented lo-fi pop genius from Seattle’s Intelligence. The incredibly infectious "Thank You God For Fixing the Tape Machine" is taken from the group’s upcoming Fake Surfers LP, which is out May 26 on In the Red (home of Vivian Girls, Strange Boys, Black Lips, etc), and has been on heavy rotation around here over the last...
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  
The only thing more fun than the Vivian Girls record is probably a Vivian Girls Surf’s Up Fun Pack. Comes complete with a t-shirt, some postcards/buttons, and a 7" with two new songs and a cover of the Beach Boys’ "Girl Don’t Tell Me." I can guarantee yall with 100% certainty that this will sell out, so get on it now. mp3: vivian girls :: where do you run to...
