VIVA SATELLITE Extra Eye 1997

Discogs

Artist Biography by Erik Hage

The unusual Washington, D.C., indie rock combo Viva Satellite! formed in the mid-'90s, on the heels of the breakup of Rob Christiansen's former group, Eggs. Christiansen, who had been playing a bit with Grenadine, hooked up with Lauren Feldsher to form Viva Satellite! (later to be joined by Dan Morrissey, Ian Jones, and Paige Smith). The unique group was clearly formed as a fun outlet, but soon blossomed into a band/musical theater troupe, going so far as to debut with a full-fledged rock opera album, Nishma, in 1996. (The plot is unraveled in an opening track with the unwieldy title "The Legend of How Salt Water Taffy Came to Be.") The effort was performed in a semi-classical style, replete with Greek chorus. Viva Satellite! released Extra Eye in 1997. This effort told the story of a boy from a land of one-eyed people who finds love, with the group members performing as the characters throughout. The group has also released a pop/rock opera about Leonardo DaVinci.

Grenadine Biography by Heather Phares

This indie rock supergroup consists of Jenny Toomey from Tsunami, Mark Robinson from Unrest and Air Miami, and Rob Christiansen from the Eggs. Formed in 1991, Grenadine has a slew of 7"s to its credit, as well as two albums, Goya and Nopalitos, that show off the band's moody take on pop music. Toomey's compositions tend to be sullenly melodic, quiet epics that show off her rich, throaty voice, while Robinson's songs range from upbeat power pop to odd, 1920s-style ditties reminiscent of Rudy Vallee and other crooners. An unusual band even by indie standards, Grenadine allows its members to explore musical facets untouched by their other bands, making the group more than just a side project.
