The unusual Washington, D.C., indie rock and roll combo Viva Satellite television! formed within the mid-’90s, around the heels from the separation of Rob Christiansen’s previous group, Eggs. Christiansen, who was simply playing a little with Grenadine, installed with Lauren Feldsher to create Viva Satellite television! (later to become became a member of by Dan Morrissey, Ian Jones, and Paige Smith). The initial group was obviously formed as a great outlet, but quickly blossomed right into a music group/musical movie theater troupe, going as far as to debut using a full-fledged rock and roll opera record, Nishma, in 1996. (The story is unraveled within an starting track using the unwieldy name “The Tale of How Sodium Water Taffy Had become.”) Your time and effort was performed within a semi-classical design, replete with Greek chorus. Viva Satellite television! released Extra Eyesight in 1997. This work told the storyplot of a youngster from a property of one-eyed individuals who discovers love, using the group people performing because the personas throughout. The group in addition has released a pop/rock and roll opera about Leonardo DaVinci.
