Friday, July 22: Violent Vickie

Le Voyeur Cafe and Lounge

By Matt Driscoll on July 20, 2011

The Bay Area's Violent Vickie - a two-piece - is a self-described electro-punk act inspired by the Riot Grrrl movement and blasting up to the Northwest as part of their Ultra Violent Summer Tour. Created and led by the fittingly named Vickie, Violent Vickie ropes in all the senses with its art, mashing electronic creativity with punk rock ethos and then adding to the equation through slide projections or digital imagery displayed behind the band. It's a site to see, hear and behold. Past Violent Vickie shows have incorporated imagery of "creepy kittens" and dildos, according to Facebook. It's hard to envision Violent Vickie not being well received when they hit Oly Friday.
