Tonight: Vivian Girls at Holocene

Posted by Mike Harper

Somewhere between the Beach Boys and Bikini Kill are Vivian Girls. Raucously endearing with straightacross bangs, this Brooklyn trio might charm your heartstrings before cutting them loose with piercing amps and yell-song harmonies. Combined with the shoegazey, girl-fronted Best Coast and the punky megaphone energy of Portland's Meth Teeth, this night's bound to keep you moving.

From Holocene: “Whilst the band have again captured their raw, fun edge — as the influence of '60s girl bands, The Ramones as well as surf and indie pop, still ring true – Everything Goes Wrong is without a doubt a darker, moodier album than its predecessor; a trait which arguably makes the band an even more appealing proposition this time around.”

Vivian Girls @ Holocene
SE 10th & Morrison
8:30pm, 21+
$10 (and worth every penny!)
