At the end of Fucked Up's show at Toronto's Wrongbar in May 2008, broken beer bottles littered the wooden floor and the bar looked completely wrecked from the mayhem that had occurred. A lot's changed for Fucked Up since then: they signed to Matador, released the Polaris Music Prize short listed The Chemistry Of Common Life, have toured the...

TV On The Radio Play New Song

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 4, 2008 11:00 am
There are good opening acts and there are bad opening acts, and Brooklyn, N.Y.'s Vivian Girls (not to be confused with the defunct Australian band of the same name), who kicked off Wednesday's show, were bad. Their mostly three-chord punk with an ethereal multi-vocal approach made them sound like a less talented version of The Breeders. They...

Black Lips and Vivian Girls are hitting the road together from late February to April. —Pitchfork Winnipeg singer/songwriter Christine Fellows will release her new Femmes De Chez Nous album on Feb. 1 through Six Shooter. The bilingual release...

By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) March 11, 2010 2:16 pm
Background/Composition: This all-female trio of singer/guitarist Cassie Ramone, bassist/vocalist Kickball Katy and drummer Ali Koehler blend garage rock, punk, classic girl-group pop and an occasional hint of psychedelia in their sound. They've experienced both a blog-driven buzz and subsequent backlash in releasing two albums for In The Red over...

Everything Goes Right As Vivian Girls Debut At #1

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) October 6, 2009 12:02 pm
Dylan got it right: "The times, they are a changin'." As I mentioned last week, there used to be a lot more continuity amongst individual campus radio charts, with many of the same bands appearing on a variety of top 30 charts in different regions. This week, with 33 stations reporting, the #1 album received the lowest points total...

This Brady Hall-directed video for Vivian Girls' "Moped Girls" moves along like the good ol' days of 2-D Mario video games. (Remember how those awesome early games used to work before all that fancy shmancy 3-D shit came into play? How it wouldn't let you go back to the left after the screen moved so far to the right? Yeah. Just like...

By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) March 19, 2009 9:11 am
I'm on a quest to hear great music until the first few days of spring at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, and I intend to do it without spending a penny on food. Here's the report from my second day in the live music capital of the world: I arrived at the Bitch Magazine/Kill Rock Stars party at Club De Ville by noon to...
