Viva Voce is a band we’ve always managed to miss connecting with at our Cincinnati studio, so we made a concerted effort to lock them in for a session during SXSW. As it turns out, dropping by EAR Studio was literally the first thing they did upon arriving in Austin on Wednesday, the third day of our live broadcast.

The band, who for years had been solely husband/wife Kevin & Anita Robinson, created a stir in early 2009 by announcing their break-up, only to announce their reformation as a quartet in the same statement by formally adding Corrina Repp and Evan Railton to the lineup. The four made their live debut just the week prior to SXSW, playing a series of gigs en route from their Portland home base.

They treated us to two new songs from their forthcoming Rose City full-length, while digging into their catalog for three other selections during their five song set.
