"News:: Viva City Play London This Saturday
Mon Dec 17 2007
by Simon Webb
Hotly tipped Newcastle band Viva City bring their electro indie back to London this Saturday (Dec 22) as they headline Club Prologue at the Egg, Kings Cross.
2007 has seen them tour with Kosheen and Boy Kill Boy, with the Kosheen DJ’s record label VeRT snapping them up and preparing to release their first EP.
Markee Substance, Kosheen DJs, said: ”Viva City supported Kosheen on the last two tours. Their audacious mix of genres makes people sit up and take notice. These guys will be huge so catch ‘em while you can.”
Bruce Tate, Viva City’s bassist on what will be their final gig of the year: "It’s gonna be great playing in London again, Prologue’s like our second home. We’ve just recorded some killer remixes with the Kosheen DJs to kick the Egg party off big style. This Saturday is going to be quality.”
Head to the band’s Myspace to hear more."
*****************************************************
"Steamed in New Order and sounding like the social nightmares of a terminally psychotic android Viva City are painting dramatic pictures with a polished chrome sledge hammer of electronica. Without a gig to their name the band is a work in progress, choosing the shackles of the studio in an attempt to distil their unique sound, burning with intensity and dark influences. House bound as they are, it hasn't prevented this Newcastle based study group from making an impact. The four piece are all ready being courted by VeRT Recordings and appear on a compilation compiled for the label by Dutch dance guru, Don Diablo. Viva City plan to peer above the parapet this summer, make sure you catch them." (Gutter Magazine JUNE 2006)
