Portions is bringing NYC's Vivian Girls to Newcastle on January 21st.
Here's some critical acclaim for the band:
“The Vivian Girls drop sweet girl-group melodies into proto-shoegaze squalls the way the Jesus & Mary Chain used to and the way groups like the Aislers Set, C86s-ers the Shop Assistants, and the Manhattan Love Suicides have done with female vocalists. They keep the Shangri-Las’ melodrama to boot.” —Pitchfork
“They deflect the knee-jerk criticism the most effective way possible... with an armful of kick-ass songs.” —Pitchfork
“Vivian Girls is a guileless wash of bubblegum melodies, teen angel harmonies, slap-happy drumming, and thick reverb.” —SPIN
“Best Start queuing now….” Time Out
“Self effacingly cool rock” The Guardian
“With echoes of Vaselines and the Shop Assistants in their sound, too, Vivian Girls may just have released the best album of its type in 2008 – this eponymous debut drips with a confidence beyond the band’s years, and fits no particular fashion of today.” Clash Online
“It’s unlikely you’ll find a more tasteful slice of fun on any record this year!” NME
