专辑简介

Viva Plays guitar like a flaming sword, a screaming train, a ringing bell, and a scratching chicken. She sings like if Freddy Mercury had been a woman. She has performed everywhere from Bonnaroo with Cyro Baptista and Beat The Donkey to The Monterey Jazz Festival with Peter Apfelbaum & The NY Hieroglyphics, to the Michigan Womyn’s Festival with Paprika.

This single disc, double album starts off with five lush, orchestrally arranged rock songs co-written, arranged by and featuring Peter Apfelbaum & his 11 piece band The NY Hieroglyphics. The second half is all VIVA and sports shorter, more eclectic pieces in a more intimate setting. Electric Cabaret lovingly melts together story songs, righteous feminine power and gorgeous psychedelic rock guitar, embodying the essence of a glamorous outlaw who somehow lives next door.
