    VIVA CITY’s last UK gig before SXSW! Hot new electro rock stars VIVA CITY play their last UK gig in Newcastle on Thurs 25 February before they jet off to play the hugely influential South by South West international showcase in Texas, in March. Viva City revisit The Cluny, to unleash their storming tracks mashing dirty guitars, throbbing d’n’b basslines and anthemic vocals, fused with Viva City’s trademark electronic wizardry. Viva City are hotly tipped as a band to watch in 2010. Produced by the Kosheen DJs, the innovative four piece have had a great start to the year, supporting The Sugababes, Pixie Lott and N-Dubz at Channel 4’s new festival ‘Outside In’ at the end of January. And as one of only a few UK bands invited to play at the high-profile SXSW in Austin, Texas, Viva City are poised to explode their audaciously exciting sound onto the world stage. Winning critical acclaim for their first three singles, Viva City continue to garner fantastic support. Praising their edgy, darkly hypnotic track ‘Behold’, David Sinclair, The Times said the single is: "As if the Prodigy suddenly discovered how to write good tunes". Legendary BBC DJ Tom Robinson recently chose their indie chart hit debut single ‘Kate Bush’ as one of his fave tracks declaring it ‘classic electro rock’ and ‘sheer genius’, and their second single as “Leering, sneering, swaggering electro-strut." Rated by TIME OUT as "Souped-up synth stabbing electro rock", Viva City’s ‘wonderfully over-blown synths’ come to The Cluny, Newcastle on Thursday 25 February, doors 7.00pm – entry £3.
