Vivian Girls News

The dark and lovely Brooklyn musician Frankie Rose earned her indie rock pedigree drumming for the Vivian Girls, the Dum Dum Girls, and Crystal Stilts; she's since more than proved her ability to blaze her own trails.

Sure, Frankie Rose's rsum is impressive: She briefly drummed for L.A.'s Dum Dum Girls and San Francisco's Shitstorm, a group with Raven Mahon and Hannah Lew of Grass Widow, and was a founding member of Vivian Girls, penning the '60s girl-group ode "Where Do You Run To," the song that put them on everyone's radar.

When Brooklyn, N.Y.'s Frankie Rose - who plays Golden West Cafe on Saturday - released her first album, "Frankie Rose and the Outs," back in 2010, it fell in line with the reverb-heavy indie-pop she had made her old band, Vivian Girls.

For her sophomore outing, former Vivian Girls bassist Katy Goodman sheds her cloudy outer layer and becomes one with her music.

Vivian Girls bassist Katy Goodman records solo stuff as La Sera, and she's about to release her new album Sees The Light .
