Vivabeat / Party In The War Zone
CD release date 12/08/2023
Vivabeat was a Los Angeles based New Wave band that formed in 1978 and continued making music into the mid-80's. They were pioneers in the synthpop movement, releasing their underground dance hit Man From China in 1979. Their 1980 album Party In The War Zone was a daring combination of electronics, glam rock, alternative pop, and experimental sounds. Rubellan Remasters presents the first ever CD reissue of the 1980 album, remastered from original master tapes and doubled in size to include a further 10 tracks culled from the band's personal archive, including several never before released. The album cover has been updated by founding member Marina Muhlfriedel and comes with a booklet including rare photos and lyrics to all songs. Strictly limited to 500 copies.
