Vivabeat

Vivabeat is a San Francisco-based indie pop/rock project masterminded by singer-songwriter-producer Dave Tweedie, active since the early 2000s with collaborators like vocalist Emily McAllister. Blending new wave synths, jangly guitars, and cheeky lyricism, their sound channels 80s college rock with a modern DIY twist. Recent singles like "The House Is Burning (But There's No One Home)" showcase their knack for pairing danceable hooks with wry social commentary, while "The Good Life" leans into sunnier power-pop textures. Known for self-releasing music and fostering local art connections, Vivabeat maintains a scrappy, community-focused ethos between Bay Area shows and cleverly crafted recordings that balance nostalgia with millennial existentialism.
