Viva Voce’s alter ego (psst… The Robinsons) plays this Saturday at The Woods

The RobinsonsSome musical counterparts–Chris Gaines comes to mind–will make you cringe. But Viva Voce’s alter ego, The Robinsons, is sure to please.

The Robinsons have yet to produce an album, so sampling their music is about as challenging as putting sense to the need for Chris Gaines.  But, what could be better than when a local garage-psych, indie band creates a more intimate version of their former self?

On the Viva Voce website, Kevin Robinson describes this side project as such: “…myself and Anita. When we came off our last tour we started taking shows as The Robinsons. Shows that wouldn’t be appropriate for Viva Voce to bring the hammer of sound too. Smaller more intimate shows that allow us to play the breadth of our catalog in a more personal manner.”

You can find this intimate showcase this Saturday, January 16th at The WoodsY La Bamba will open the show at 9:00 pm.
