Vivian Girls live at ATP-NY 2010
In July, Vivian Girls mainstays Kickball Katy and Cassy Ramone started working with new drummer Fiona Campbell. A former member of the New Zealand punk band Coolies, Fiona is now planted firmly in Brooklyn, where she's also one-half of submerged pop-jammers Coasting.
We had the chance to catch this revised lineup earlier this month when WFMU broadcast live from the third-annual NY edition of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival at Kutsher's Country Club. The three-piece tore through a set of classic material, hits from last year's s/t on In The Red, and new jams like "The Other Girls", featured below.
The full Vivian Girls ATP-NY set is available here, but we're not archiving the opening track because the mix was still falling into place. It's too bad because "Tell The World" is one of my all-time favorite songs -- seriously every time I pick up a bass I wanna play that riff! But, lucky for us, there is already an incredible live version of "Tell The World" available on the Free Music Archive pre-launch sampler #2.
This version was from Vivian Girls' 2008 WFMU session for Choking on Cufflinks. This session was recorded before the FMA launched, but WFMU posted mp3s to the blog after the set aired, and because WFMU likes to give live session commercial rights over to the artist, the recordings have since resurfaced in two for-sale editions: a limited CDR, and 12'' on Troubleman. Both are now sold-out, and I've seen the CD-R command upwards of $60 on eBay.
