Viva Viva @ Pianos, NYC - August 18, 2007

Viva Viva @ Pianos, NYC, August 18, 2007I went to Piano's last Saturday night to see Tulsa but got to the club early enough to see Boston's Viva Viva play. The band has only been around about a year or two but they sounded great. They have an early 70s Stone-ish rock sound (check out "Heartbreak Sweepstakes" and "Keep Looking" on the band's MySpace page) and the lead singer, Dave Vicini, has a manic Iggy Pop type energy.

The band released a new EP "Art, Sex, Death & Time" earlier this year but I can't find it for sale anywhere on the 'net. I guess this is available only at the band's show. Speaking of this...the band is playing a show in Brooklyn this weekend (dates and locations below) and isn't coming back to town until November.
