Viva Hate Psychobilly? Hard Rock? Punk? The sound of Viva Hate could be described as all (or none) of the above. Drawing on influences such as American country music, 70s arena rock, early-80s skate punk and death rock, modern psychobilly, and more, Viva Hate has come to rise above the trends of cookie-cutter pop and retro rehash. By distilling the ingredients of their influences, rather than watering them down, Viva Hate are prepared to carve out their own niche in the ever-growing musical underground.

In not too many hours I'm leaving for a new concert trip (Mayhem commences NOW!) ... I'm heading down to San Diego to photograph Tiger Army (along with Liz Bouras/Sistinas who is again giving me crash space tonight...) ...which is extremely important as the next morning I'm back on the bus and on my way to Las Vegas to photo (and just enjoy! :) a performance by Viva Hate playing during Punk Rock Bowling weekend (wishing luck to Greg Utter's team!). If I'm really lucky I might be able to take the shuttle out to Sam's Town and get some shots of the tournament, too... So now I need to stop procrastinating and start packing. My new VR lens arrived and should be a lot of help shooting under the weird lighting conditions at shows... with my karma I'll go to use it and find out I got (another) defective lens. I'm still hopeful. (and speaking of hope, hopefully before the next concert trip I'll have my Buzznet phone and be able to send in videos/photos from the road :-D ) If you get out to either of the shows, please come up and introduce yourself!
