Swedish new wave / post-punk band, formed in 1980 in Gothenburg.
This constellation was signed in 1981 by Stranded Rekords and debuted the same year with the single Delfiner / Min Gula Regnkappa. Their music and sound were related to British art rock and contemporary groups such as Simple Minds, Ultravox (with John Foxx) and Magazine - a cover of Ultravox I Can't Stay Long from the album Systems of Romance was later included in Viva!'s live repertoire.
