The summer has provided us with a variety of possibilities. Feels like home records has agreed to distribute our next full length album and as a bonus we will be including a copy of the complete summer tracks "The History Revisionist e.p." as a bonus disc We are currently in the process making and scoring an animated/short-film that will feature all new music from the band, when that project is finished, we're hoping to have the film completed by Dec. after that we will be most likely packaging the up the DVD, I could see having a separate CD with it as a stand alone soundtrack, but we shall cross that bridge... Other than ALL THAT GREAT NEWS....Barney is having his first show of new paintings on August 1, 2008 as a participant of FIRST FRIDAYS in Albany, NY. Those in the area are invited to share the continued success of our band mate. please stop by and wish him well, he will be listed under C.Thomas. oh also..almost forgot, John Lasala from VUA has assured me the next project "The future is now", is still on track for the future, which also has new material by the band. So you can see there is plenty of new VIVIAN CIRCLE music coming your way...stay tuned...and thank you for your support. much respect Barney, Vivian, and George 808
VIVIAN CIRCLE AND THE HISTORY REVISIONIST E.P. Jul 3
"A real treat!... interspersed with intersecting soundscapes of white noise and garbled conversations, mixed with lo-fi jangled guitars, and it sounds to me like the beginning of a new kind of a summer pop record. "
-Miriam Albion for Islands Arts & Culture Magazine
-"Like a collection of Rares and B-sides, the band has dug deep from the hits and misses and even designed some new songs around this idea of a clean summer place..Mining their emotional past to come forward with a mature and sublime "summer record".
-Tracy Jergins Fresno Bee
-"Vivian Circle continue to corner the market on tiny songs. Coming in at just under 15 minutes, "The History Revisionist", is a quick poke in the ear of lush sounding pop music mixed with incoherent news casts and whispered vocals. It examines what we get when we get to the end of a pop song that is barely there. Letting nothing linger on the pallet past the 3 minute mark, the band keep a tight reign on the songs lengths. We are left at the end of some of these brief vignettes of beautiful sounds with the yearning to play them again. Pop perfection..."
-Grant Russell East Village Music and Arts
The Summer 2008 Recording Session.

Still squaring the circle I see Mr V.! May I commend your chum Barney for excellence in eyebrow arching? It is so much better to summon a servant through the inquistive angling of an eyebrow rather than gruff shouting across the dinner table. Breeding will out you know!

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany! Feel free to download my music!
