The Viper Room The Sunset Strip West Hollywood, CA July 28, 2007 By Victoria Joyce (SugarBuzz Hollywood) The last sultry Saturday night of July on the Sunset Strip we happened to catch Slow Burning Car at the Viper room. Here’s a band that ain’t a band.

Danceable and enjoyable, one can’t help but tap a foot along as Troy Spiropoulos sings, “Don’t you wanna get it / I know you wanna get it / I bet you wanna get it / You know you’ll never get...
