Viva City
Viva City are a local band we really like & we think they will make it really big.
Having seen billions of really good local bands we feel there is something special about these dudes. We don’t know them well or anything like that, they just played at the Club recently & we were stunned by how good they were. They are quite hard to put into words but we shall try…
They have a kinda early Roxy Music vibe, are more than just a bit glam & seem to approach modern electronic music with a sort of James Brown meets Led Zeppelin type swagger. The sound of now for sure. Hard to imagine..?
Go & see them live, you will be amazed & in our opinion they are by far the best live band we have seen from Newcastle. We were stunned, which doesn’t happen often.
In terms of the impact they made in the Club, they are running close to The Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra from New York (who totally smashed the Club in the Summer of 2009, when they were over in the UK), for the title of WHQ live show of that year.
They have got a little myspace site going on & the address is myspace.com/vivacityuk so check that out, but for the real deal make a point of going to see them live & you’ll see what we mean. Honestly Viva City are tremendous.
