| About: |
"ViV,
a band that's beginning to make some noise." Heralded
by the San Jose Mercury News as the local musicians
most likely to make their mark, ViV is an alternative
rock band from San Francisco that relies on
well-crafted songs performed with respect and
integrity for the music. Their albums have
been successful calling cards and their live
shows continue to build their fan base at every
show. To see ViV play live is a real "show" where
they incorporate projected images, samples
and backdrops that enable the band to convey
a unique feeling for each song in each show
they play. This captivating Bay Area quintet
has created a persuasive blend of music that
is richly American heartland rock steeped in
British pop. In one of their most recent reviews
it was succinctly put that Viv is a "roots-indie
hybrid" and the band agrees. Since their
formation in 2001, ViV has rapidly grown a
cult following nationwide, playing over 300
live shows in just three years and drawing
on the emotions of audiences of all ages. |
