The debut record from Colonial Vipers Attack features musicians from several Twin Cities bands (including former members of Divorcee, Faux Jean, The Spring Collection, and The Melismatics). Formed as a recording project in 2003, these long-time friends teamed up with producer and live sound engineer Brad Kern (Semisonic, Dan Wilson, Divorcee, The Hang ups, and the Owls). Sessions started at The Terrarium recording studio in Minneapolis, and the record was completed at The Panic Room . The record was mixed by Brad Kern at Recliner Beach in Minneapolis. CVA's self-titled release is also Chris Pavlich's first offering as a songwriter. The lush vocals and unique guitar sounds are complimented by groove monsters John Schrei and Shawn Grider. Dax Eckel fills in all the gaps with his infectious vintage keyboard, and Kris Johnson has just finished doing hard time for his deadly guitar work for the Vipers.
