Viva Viva

With influences from the heyday of the 60's and 70's, their sound is equal parts infectious-pop and dark-stomping-blues, combined with their own blend of hope, disappointment, grit, and wit.

In 2005, when Dave Vicini (lead singer, formerly of The Lot Six) moved into an apartment in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, MA, with Chris Warren (singer/guitarist, formerly of Officer May), the friends already had an idea that they should be in a band together. Their previous bands had shared bills and even covered each other's songs. Before long, six Chuck Taylor boxes full of 4-tracks were recorded in their apartment. Then they decided they should find a band and make a record.

Viva Viva's reputation has grown steadily over the years, from those apartment recording sessions to the music hall-shaking, band they are today. Dan Burke (bass, formerly of The Lot Six), Fumika Kato (keyboard) and Dominic Mariano (drums), complete the sound that is causing a stir in the Boston music scene.

"Neo-psych vets Viva Viva... establish themselves as Boston's best live act... their long-awaited homonymous debut off Fort Point Recordings proves their hook-laden worth in the studio." -- Michael Marotta, Boston Phoenix

"Consider this official appreciation for what is one of the best under-praised albums of the year." -- Clay Adamczyk, Boston's Weekly Dig

"With their unhinged stage presence and unapologetic attitude, Viva Viva is at the forefront of the dirty rock revival that's snapping Boston out of its electro-induced haze." -- Barry Thompson, Time Out Boston
