Viva Voce -which many scholars maintain translates literally from the Eye-talian into the English as “long live voice”- have a winner in their latest release Get Yr Blood Sucked Out. Blazing harmonies and dusty drums abound (please listen to “We Don’t Fuck Around”). The sound is surprisingly robust and no notes are played in vain. Kevin and Anita Robinson provide an aural banquet despite being just two people. They’ve got the goods for you and your lo-fi lover, no doubt.
The Portland, Oregon based duo will be doing an in-store thing at End of an Ear (10/3 at 5PM) before their official rock show at Emo’s with Silversun Pickups (10/3 at 8PM). Be sure to get out and get some Viva Voce. Or, simply enter your name in the form below and cross your fingers until you hear if you've won a pair of tickets courtesy of Austinist!
