About Mini Viva
Mini viva released their
début single in
September 2009 which was
given the title Left my
heart in Tokyo. This
made it to number seven
in the UK charts. It was
produced by the very
successful production
firm xenomania which has
previously worked with
the Sugababes and Kylie
Minogue. The magazine
NME called their first
single the catchiest
single of 2009.
Mini Viva have been on
tour with the Saturdays
and were their
supporting act for The
work tour. Their name,
incidentally, comes from
something they both saw
on the bottom of a
poster in London after
it caught their eye. Of
the two Britt is
considered to be mini as
she reminds Frankee of
Minnie Mouse and Frankee
is considered to be Viva
because she is thought
of as cool, exotic and
beautiful.
Frankee had spent some
time as part of a girl
band in her home city of
Manchester before
getting involved in a
Xenomania audition
through he myspace page.
They were soon formed
into the Duo that exists
today and then began
working on their own
image, endeavouring to
find their own unique
sound that they could
call their own.
They also have another
single called I wish
which is to be released
as a single and download
track on the 30th
November 2009. The name
of their upcoming album
is currently unknown
although it is set to be
released on the 30th
November 2009 also. This
is not an official date
but it is the likely
date of release
according to certain
sources. They describe
the album in their own
words as being pop only
with a quirky edge.
The duo are expected to
be the best chance of a
continuing and
successful bridge
between indie and pop
music.
According to the girls
themselves they are most
likely to go to
Hollywood but least
Likely to become the
friends of Rod Stewart.
They have performed at
various locations of
which the Trafford
centre is included. Mini
Viva is about to embark
on their tour during
which they will be
playing at several
venues in Croydon as
well as Nottingham,
Manchester and other
lactations across the
UK.
There have been many
musical commentators
that have drawn
comparisons between Mini
Viva and Mel & Kim.
Despite the
similarities, it looks
likely that they will
develop their own brand
of music and possibly
act as the quirky and
modern bridge between
two popular music genres
– Pop and Indie.
