   About the Viscounts
  2009 ~ the Viscounts ~ trio formed several years ago from the popular 8-piece Smart Alecs band. Pete, Alec & Andy have pooled their songwriting, bringing together their various and eclectic musical backgrounds to create a highly engaging, groovy and original lo-fi style. From cinematic instrumentals to stories of attraction, apostate reflection, dry-witted wordplay & pointed social comment, you’ll find yourself gently swaying to a moody arrangement, or just getting up to dance. You can catch them playing through Central Victoria or down in Melbourne, so look out for a gig near you somewhere soon .. Come and light yourself up with the Viscounts – you’ll be so glad you did!

Hi Andy, I thought you'd been to DTT before. It's a big songwriting circle and jam...some great musicians. It's on the first Tuesday of every month at Don't Tell Tom's in Brunswick. Saw Trevor there last time. I haven't been for awhile but will make an effort from now on. Perhaps next month for you?

cheers, Suzie D

cheers, Suzie D

Dear Viscounts, especially Andy!

In case that you are celebrating Christmas at your part of the world, too -
isn't it WONDERFUL?!
Oh yes, I KNOW I KNOW ...!
SOMETIMES and for some folks it's just another
TWILIGHT ZONE - but at least we have to be thankful for each and everything.
AND WHEN HE COMES we are all reunited in

ARCADIAN SKIES at the end!

LoL! Have a blessed Merry Christmas
Yours Petra & Bernd

(We have already presented ourselves by listening to your beautiful songs so often!)
