Named after the protagonists of outsider artist Henry Darger's now legendary manuscript <i>The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinnian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion</i>, the group came together in Brooklyn in 2007. In a matter of months the trio of Cassie Ramone, Kickball Katy and Frankie Rose (who eventually left the band) recorded a five song demo and played a string of gigs, often with fellow New Yorkers Woods and Crystal Stilts. With Ali bashing away simple, Moe Tucker-like beats, Cassie and Katy chirp about boys, youth and insecurity, as if they're a late '60s bubblegum act dipped in a vat of shoegazing fuzz. In 2008, the Girls cranked up their recording schedule, releasing a slew of seven-inches (those little, round discs that contain two, sometimes three songs) and a self-titled album on the Mauled by Tigers imprint. Although the record's first pressing quickly sold out, the longtime garage rock label In the Red reissued it several months later. - Justin FarrarLo-Fien720Mon, 21 Dec 2009 19:55:41 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.23949111&rws=%2Fvivian-girls%2Fdiscography.rss Much like Blood on the Wall and Sic Alps, the Vivian Girls pay homage to classic indie pop, namely the distorto-soaked twee of Scrawl, Velocity Girl, Black Tambourine, Talulah Gosh and Tiger Trap.
