About Me

The Viv Prince Experience were born in 2004 in Rome(Italy). V.p.e. feature members of differents punk-garage-blues- acts like Turturros, The Applicants, Dead Cigarettes and Les Photonics. We recorded, mixed and mastered our first five songs demo V.p.e. at the end of november 2004 at Nicola's Tranquillo studios in Caserta.We are basically a tight four-piece, we play a mix of good-old 60's garage-rock-psych...In december 2005 we have recorded two new songs in the same studio in Caserta, "Where do we go from Here" and "Victoria Station" that will be released on a split 7" for Area Pirata Records with us, another fine italian band the B-Back from Siena.We have played with a lot of good bands like: Not Moving, The Fuzztones,Bradipos IV, Les Photonics, Surfin' Lungs, Bonnie Parkers, Black Circus Tarantula, Almandino Quite deluxe, Real Swingers, Retarded, Winter Beach Disco, Gesundheit, Serial Kreepers, Urge Nicotina.Ok it's enough, who really need another boring bio...
