With trumpets, trombones, and drums taking center stage, they rework classic metal riffs into something fresh and electrifying. Whether you’re a metalhead or a jazz fan, their wild live performances are simply electrifying.

VIVA KNIEVEL

  • Viva Knievel is an 8-to-100 piece fearless American wrecking ball. The band boasts chaotic stage shows, an unnecessary amount of sunglasses, face-melting guitar solos and earth-rumbling renditions of all your favorite songs that other bands are too afraid to play. We like to take our audiences on a daredevil flight through the decades. We first concentrate on the songs that brought groove and swagger, Marshall's and Vistalites, big hair and bigger songs to the masses. Then, we show you what we’re really made of. Featuring a full horn-section, Viva Knievel gets down on it and delivers some of the best renditions of funk and soul your step-dad has ever heard. When you regain consciousness, we’ll launch into modern mode and deliver all of your favorite contemporary hits with such a fervor and perfection, you’ll swear you’re dreaming. Well, you’re not. You’re witnessing the spectacle that is: Viva Knievel. You’re welcome.
