About the Artist

Vivian Darkbloom is perhaps the best-kept secret in the Boston music scene. Their songs and stage performances speak for themselves, but they also have some must-see secret weapons. Rob Morris's Wii Guitar is always a crowd pleaser, and has been showcased to Yamaha, Nintendo, and, most recently, to members of Aerosmith. A video of the invention recently went viral, receiving over 40,000 plays in a few hours, and appearing in dozens of tech blogs - such as wired.com, engadget.com, and gizmodo.com. Vivian Darkbloom's first, independent release - "Let's Become Machines" (2007) - was enthusiastically received by journalists, bloggers, and peer-review sites. Songs from the debut release garnered five top-ten chartings on ourstage.com, and "Jamie" was selected as "track of the day" on Garageband.com. The band has also been a featured artist on CMJ.com, ourstage.com, sonicbids.com, garageband.com, and indiestop10.com. They have shared the stage with national indie and major label acts, and they routinely play weekend shows at prestigious New England venues (including T.T. The Bear's in Cambridge). Recently, they were selected to perform at the 2008 CMJ music marathon in New York. Since July, 2008, Vivian Darkbloom have been recording with Producer Scott Riebling (Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is, Metro Station). The new music was released online in October.
