| Nico Vega cancels US tour Posted: 18 Jun 2009 12:12 PM PDT To the Wonderful Nico Vega Fans and Family, I regret to inform you all that I have done some minor vocal damage while spitting and yowling like a banshee on stage. So, to prevent from doing any permanent damage, we regretfully have to cancel our US tour. That being said, we will be back in the game very soon, as we caught the problem before it did any lasting damage. There is nothing more important to me than bringing our music to you. This is what we live for, so I will do all that it takes to make sure we get there as soon as possible. We’d also like to apologize to our new friends in Children Collide. They are a great band and we hope you will check them out when they hit your town. Thank you for your love and support and I am so sorry for the inconvenience. We love you always, Aja and The Nico Vega crew

| Viva Voce @ The Firebird, St. Louis Posted: 18 Jun 2009 08:05 AM PDT I wandered into The Firebird, formerly The Bluebird, to catch a band I saw open up for The Shins a few years back by the name of Viva Voce. It was my first time I had been back in the venue since the renaming and remodeling that occurred after my sweaty good time at The Ting Tings warm up show for Lollapalooza last year. After noticing the improved lighting, I was rather grateful. Needless to say, this show was not at all what I was expecting from the get go. The bands doubling in members from two to four really complimented and completed their fuzz rock sound in addition to confusing me briefly until I recognized Kevin and Anita as they took the stage. This addition to the band gives the married couple, Kevin and Anita Robinson, a little more freedom by not having so much instrumental responsibility, paving the way for Anita to wail away on her guitar and Kevin to step out from behind the drum kit, add some bass to the equation, in addition to complimenting his wife's soulful voice with deep, raspy back up vocals. Their rather breezy 11-song headlining set mostly focused on tracks from their recent critically-praised release, Rose City, aptly named after their hometown of Portland, Oregon. Catch the band as their tour makes its way back home to Portland. Set List:
Devotion
Die A Little
When Planets Collide
Alive With Pleasure
Octavio
Midnight Sun
The Slow Fade
Red Letter Day
Lesson #1
Free Nude Celebs
Wrecking Ball             Tour Dates:
June 18 – Bottom of The Hill / San Francisco, CA
June 20 – Wonder Ballroom / Portland, OR Viva Voce: website | myspace Rose City Price: USD 11.99 30 used & new available from USD 3.95 Related Posts - May 21, 2009 — Keane with the Helio Sequence and Mat Kearney @ DAR Constitution Hall, Washington D.C. (0)
