Something to blog about!

Apparently the Vivian Girls broke up.  I had the opportunity to interview them in 2009, and I wrote what I considered to be a very misunderstood, and somewhat rushed, review of one of their shows for Popmatters, in which a few people misconstrued something I wrote.  Anyway, this writer sums them up pretty well:

Here's photos from that day. They are very cool people whose influence is actually impressive, considering the fact that they never really did anything to gather a huge following, which is part of what I talked to them about.  They just stuck to doing their thing, which is pretty awesome.  All anyone has to do is listen to their albums on a good sound system and watch the videos.
