Thisisthelast…Viva Voce Concert Review
April 19th, 2007 . by Jilly
Last Thursday I saw Viva Voce and the Shins at Soma in San Diego. I was excited to see the husband/wife duo play together. It was dissappointing and it wasn’t their fault. The sound quality inside Soma is so bad, its really static-y.
But besides that, I was entranced by Anita Robinson. I have a crush on her. She’s a hottie and she plays the guitar like a man. Its really strange to see such a feminine person moving her body with the guitar. They played a few too many extended guitar solos for my tastes, but it was cool to see the way they looked at each other and drew energy off each other. She later joined the Shins on stage for “Phantom Limb” and a couple of other songs.
I held back on posting this review. With what just happened in Virginia, it really does make everything else seem so mundane. Its just completely horrendous and awful what happened there. I don’t want to not acknowledge it. I sincerely hope that these people will be now left alone to grieve.
