So wrong it's right!

About Me

What’s the most ridiculous band name you can possibly think of? For six young bluegrass and old-time musicians from the West Coast, it’s “VIPER CENTRAL”! What began as an outrageous inside joke on a beer-infused night at the Montmartre Café in Vancouver has become, in fact, the ultimate parody of itself: a cult phenomenon! ...Only in this case what sounds like a heavy metal band from the 1980’s is actually a six-piece acoustic ensemble specializing in "that old southern sound"... and they’re from Canada. ...Eh?!!One of the coolest, darkest, maddest musical phenomena ever to emerge from the wooded glades of Main Street, VIPER CENTRAL rips it up golden bluegrass styles with traditional and original songs, instrumental tunes, and murder ballads full of sweet-n-crunchy harmonies and tight melodic breaks that'll make your heart soar, your feet shuffle, and your blood curdle.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Brackendale photo essay

The Brackendale Bluegrass Festival was a blast of a time for the Vipers.  Our first gig of 2007 as a full band (Tyler in Montréal for a few months working on his M.Sc.), the evening was...
