Good Morning, Vietnam

VietNam is a rock/blues band from Brooklyn, very confusing because the 80s band of the same name are still around. Funny enough none of those bands are actually from Vietnam, kind of like of Montreal are actually not from Montreal or any of those Barcelona bands not actually from Barcelona…
Anyway, VietNam are returning with a new album, an A.Merican D.ream, coming out February 26th, 2013, on Mexican Summer.
Michael Gerner is back for the first time in five years with a new six-piece lineup, which I am assuming you can witness yourself on their upcoming national tour.

VIET KHANG wikipedia.org If you were wondering about whatever happened to Viet Khang – the singer/songwriter who was jailed for writing and performing two protest songs. Since the last report, he had his day in court at The People’s Court in Ho Chi Minh City on October 30th, 2012. He was sentenced to four years in prison with an additional two years house arrest/probation, despite the White House rally and worldwide interest in the case. |
