After two years of a complete cycle through the hype machine, the Vivian Girls have arrived on the other side alive, energetic and full of new ideas. At Bowery on Monday, the Vivs performed three strong songs from their anticipated September follow-up to last year’s acclaimed self-titled debut. The new “Out for the Sun” saw the Vivians stretch out and speed up a lengthy instrumental segment that was a fine harbinger of things to come. The band finished the set with a raucous nine-minute version of “Damaged” that left the stage in a cloud of noise and cacophony. The crowd hooted its approval at a band that continues to mature and cover new ground.
This set was recorded from the prime location in this venue, and acidjack has captured by far the best live recording of this band to date. Enjoy!
