Vivian Girls’ recently rereleased debut (the 500-copy first pressing
sold out almost immediately) is 22 minutes of indie pop and punk bliss,
perfectly splitting the difference between ’60s girl groups, C86
jangle, and the Ramones
.
Every concisely catchy song is a
joyride of clattering drums; fuzzed-out guitars; and dreamy, droning
vocal harmonies speeding headlong around dead man’s curves and
crashing gently into one sweet, soft chorus after another. It is 22
minutes you will want to listen to on indefinite repeat. With Love Is
All and Nodzzz. (Nectar, 412 N 36th St, 632-2020. 8 pm, $10,

  1. Are you kidding? The blonde is the “hot” one–and is so scorching with those tats that she makes me want to cry–but even the drummer is hot cause she’s just so dang good on the drums. Dumbus.
