The Brooklyn-based Vivian Girls is an all-female trio who have seem to make their way into the hearts of hipsters and critics everywhere overnight.
It’s sad when being an girl band is (still) considered a gimmick—but despite the cute clothes, cute looks and being from the “right” borough, Vivian Girls are actually (surprisingly?) deserving of the hype.
With passive lyrics, near indecipherable vocals, fuzzy hooks and a distinctly lazy garage rock sound, the Vivian Girls sound a whole lot more like their west coast counterparts—K Records, San Francisco, the whole bit. You know, lo-fi, feedback, jangly rhythms. It’s a watered down version of the Jesus and Mary Chain, shoegaze and Cocteau Twins for a new generation.
Vivian Girls: Fri., 9 p.m., $10. Detroit Bar, 843 W. 19th St., Costa Mesa, 949.642.0600. 21+. T
