Bio :: Viva City

"As if the Prodigy suddenly discovered how to write good tunes". David Sinclair, The Times “Viva City‟s Kate Bush is a storming two minute slice of classic electropop... Sheer genius.” Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music "Viva City: Brilliant live... if you're young and like Pendulum or old, like me, and loved PWEI..fuck it... If you like it loud then Viva City ain‟t a bad place to visit". DeathDisco’s Danny Watson, Notting Hill Arts Club. “Leering, sneering, swaggering electro-strut." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music "The Newcastle quartet pull out all the stops to produce a sure fire indie floor filler. Bristling with synths, heavy bass riffs & the ubiquitous catchy line to be sang until you're hoarse." Adam Houghton, Daily Sport "Souped-up synth stabbing electro rock.” TIME OUT Newcastle‟s hot new electro-indie stars VIVA CITY have unleashed their storming third single „BEHOLD‟- an urgent mix of dirty guitars, throbbing d‟n‟b basslines and anthemic vocals, fused with Viva City‟s trademark electronic wizardry. Winning critical acclaim for their first three singles and hotly tipped to breakthrough in 2010, Viva City have been invited to play at the hugely influential global music industry showcase SXSW, in Texas next March. With primetime and national BBC and XFM airplay for Behold, the Newcastle four-piece are poised to make the music scene sit up and take notice. This follows the O2 Music Academy snapping up Viva City for a national tour this autumn which showcased four rising new acts at four cities across the UK, bringing Viva City‟s electro mastery to the masses.
