The Vivians split up in 2010, so this info is posthumous.
The sound of The Vivians is the result of frantic living, and the late nights and early mornings they’ve spent making their music between Edinburgh and London. Their music makes you want to forget who you are, and unlocks the possibilities of what you might want to be.
The Vivians are five close friends who assembled together in the basement of a café in Edinburgh, August 2006, to create the foundations of a rock ‘n’ roll band. The band quickly earned the respect and reputation from top music journalists and radio dj’s to become one of the most exciting new bands, before moving base to London early 2008. Together Damon, Chris, Kit, Scott & Pete have built a solid and exhausting live performance.
July 2008 saw the release of their debut single ‘A Human Angle’. The track has seen the band break into the indie charts and pick up rave reviews. Additionally, The Vivians received extensive radio support and airplay including Single Of The Week from Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 and Vic Galloway BBC Radio 1 Scotland.
