Vis Vires is a solution to a problem. The goal: An effective combination of artistic, proficiently written and performed music and an energetic, entertaining live performance. Vis Vires was spawned from the idea that a live performance should not be a duplication of the experience of an artist's album, but rather a different experience or expression of the art in question. If concertgoers wanted to hear a CD, chances are they would have stayed at home and listened to it. Fans come to a live performance to see another side of the band. They expect to hear the songs on the album, but they also expect (or should expect) more. Rock n roll is in a sad state when uncreative, oversimplified bands are putting on the only exciting live shows. Vis Vires proves you can do both.
