VIVIAN GIRLS @ GREAT SCOTT

Leave a comment

Vivian Girls, the last remaining great all-girl group that put out a record in 2009, will be playing at Allston’s Great Scott on March 8. Unfortunately for some folks that might suck because it’s on a Monday night. Tickets are $10 and are available for purchase at the venue or online. Opening for the Girls will be Male Bonding, a pretty sweet UK noise/garage outfit.

Comment: The Vivian Girls are comparable to Jay Reatard, if Jay was female and noisier/punker. Well, kind of. The VG’s simple song structure and composition is something that’s becoming more and more common in garage and noise punk. VGs are more polished than their counterparts Mika Miko, though perhaps not as distinctively catchy. This album will go down as extremely note-worthy in looking back at ’09.

Final Grade: 9.4
