Harum Scarum - CD

2009 debut album from stunning new brother and sister Indie Rock power duo, formerly of Bikini Atoll and currently one of Nick Cave's favorite bands. Joe Gideon provides guitar and unique, half-spoken lead vocals, telling darkly hilarious tales of his trips around the world (he once judged a Miss Bolivia contest!), while sister Viva provides backing on drums, keyboards and eight-track. She used to be a 'rhythmic gymnast', competing at the Barcelona Olympics and winning a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games. The sibling duo were described recently by Time Out as 'one of the best live acts we've seen all year.' Influential Irish magazine, Hot Press, recently designated them one of the Bands to Watch in 2009. Nine tracks.
