Whether you’re one of the PDX-Pop-watchers who’s been hip to them since 2004, or a tiny tyke who first laid eyes on them yesterday at the monthly kid-friendly rock showcase You Who, you’ve probably been won over by Viva Voce.

Viva Voce’s next local appearance will be June 21 at Music Millenium, in support of their new release, The Future Will Destroy You. That show, incidentally, is free. Fellow Portland music lovers, how spoiled are we?
