About
Viper Creek Club
Viper Creek Club (VCC) is the evolving andenduring project of Mat Wisner. Originally an idea in
one of Wisner’s demo songs for a previous project, VCC
combines the various styles and ideas of Wisner and all
of his contributors to live shows and production, making
for a refreshing brand of electro-pop music. VCC is
inherently influenced by various theories about sound,
composition methods, and genre, and they continually
work to expand through these ideas in their music.
Outside of VCC, Wisner produces, engineers, and mixes
for local hip hop artists, an attribute that heavily
influences their sound.
VCC’s debut album Letters was released in
August 2010, combining smart production techniques
with organic percussion and piano to create a sound both
deliberate and natural at the same time. In April 2011,
VCC released a much buzzed about hip-hop remix
album, Viperlust, through local Seattle label Members
Only. The Stranger’s Charles Mudede dubbed the
album, “the first solid, artistic connection between local
indie rock and indie hip hop.”
VCC is set to release their latest EP Hot Lights
on February 14, 2012. The EP’s title refers to the neon
lights that illuminate the city we occupy at night, and
the music recounts tales of urban nightlife, partying,
lust, drugs, and young love. As Wisner explains, “it’s the
perfect title for the energy and momentum of the songs
on the album.” Tracks on Hot Lights were also inspired
by the passion and energy the group encountered off of
their first year on the indie festival circuit, playing CMJ
in 2010, along with SXSW and Seattle’s City Arts
Festival in 2011.
In the past, they have supported indie acts We
Are Scientists and Ra Ra Riot, and have sold out
headlining shows at venues in their hometown of
Seattle. Their music has been featured on Real World:
Las Vegas and The Young And The Restless, as well as
commercials for Nike and Microsoft Windows 8.
It is clear that Wisner puts all of his passion and
experience to good use with Viper Creek Club, which is
made evident in their signature synth-driven melodies
and carefully constructed beats that never fail to keep
the party going.
