Debut album from stunning new brother and sister indie rock power duo,
formerly of Bikini Atoll and currently one of Nick Cave’s favourite bands.

· Joe Gideon & The Shark were asked by Nick Cave himself to open on his
November 2008 UK tour with the Bad Seeds. And two more cult heroes,
Wire and Seasick Steve, have followed in 2009, using the duo as their
support act.
· The sibling duo were described recently by Time Out as “one of the best live
acts we’ve seen all year.” Influential Irish magazine, Hot Press, recently
designated them one of the Bands To Watch in 2009. They have played
with the likes of The Duke Spirit, Archie Bronson Outfit, Scout Niblett
and Sons & Daughters.
· Their former band, Bikini Atoll, were signed to Bella Union and produced
by Steve Albini.
· Joe Gideon provides guitar and unique, half-spoken lead vocals, telling
darkly hilarious tales of his trips around the world (he once judged a Miss
Bolivia contest!), while sister Viva provides backing on drums, keyboards
and 8-track. She used to be a ‘rhythmic gymnast’, competing at the
Barcelona Olympics and winning a bronze medal at the Commonwealth
Games.
