The Vivian Girls

The Vivian Girls

The Vivian Girls were an indie rock band in Melbourne, Australia, around 2000. Their music was heavily influenced by early 1980s New Wave and referenced both Australian post punk artists (the title of the instrumental "Oh, Piano Piano" can be seen to be a Ron Rude reference) and Situationism. They released one self-titled album on the Radio One label, in 2000. Shortly afterward, vocalist and saxophonist Amy Clarke left the band to join ninetynine, and the rest of the band reconstituted as Flesh Vs. Venom.

There are other bands called The Vivian Girls: one, a lo-fi all girl rock trio from Brooklyn NYC, and another based in Berkeley, California which is mostly the solo work of David Copenhafer.

The name "The Vivian Girls" comes from the work of outsider artist Henry Darger.
