Viva Voce to Support Shins on Tour
You know how in latest Shins single, "Phantom Limb", there's a female voice gently cooing in the background? Well, that voice belongs to Anita Robinson, one half of the Barsuk duo Viva Voce. And you're going to hear a lot more of her, because Robinson and hubby Kevin will spend much of February supporting the Shins on their previously reported North American tour.
The Shins trek is sandwiched between a gig in their hometown of Portland, Oregon and a full-blown U.S. stint (complete with SXSW dates) in March. It's all in support of Viva Voce's 2006 Barsuk release, Get Yr Blood Sucked Out.
Anita will test the Shinsy waters out this Saturday night, January 13, on "Saturday Night Live", where she'll perform "Phantom Limb" with the band. She'll join forces with them again on Tuesday, January 23 on CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman".
