The Vivian Girls started in Brooklyn in 2007 as the trio of Cassie Ramone (guitar/vocals), Kickball Katy (bass/drums/vocals) and Frankie Rose (drums/bass/vocals).[1] While only a band for a short while, they recorded a demo cassette / CD-R which included five original songs, and began to play locally in their home town of Brooklyn.Within the first couple of months they had already developed a strong local following, supporting acts like Jay Reatard, Japanther and the King Khan & BBQ Show as well as finding kindred spirits in other locals like caUSE co-MOTION!, Crystal Stilts, and Woods, with whom they’ve shared many bills and helped develop a local scene. In March 2008 they released the "Wild Eyes" single on the Plays With Dolls label.With very little promotion and distribution the single became an underground indie hit as it charted on many college radio playlists and garnered positive reviews on the internet.Recorded in the same session, their debut self-titled LP was released by the Mauled by Tigers label, whose initial pressing of the LP sold out in ten days.During this time, the group signed with In The Red Records who released a new single in August 2008.In The Red re-released the Mauled by Tigers record on LP and CD formats in October 2008.In July 2008 the band underwent a lineup change with new drummer Ali Koehler replacing Frankie Rose.
