Vicky Cryer
Vicky Cryer was an American alternative/electro rock supergroup, based in Los Angeles, formed in 2011. Their first album, called The Synthetic Love of Emotional Engineering, was released in 2011, shortly after the release of the EP, Expensive Love, which contained five tracks that all ended up on the album. The band was active between 2011 and 2012, and, for a brief moment, in 2015. The band's line-up included members of The Killers, Jamiroquai and Flaming Lips, amongst others. Dom Howard served as their drummer and was joined by his co-drummer, Alex Carapetis.
On July 14th, 2011, Dom stated in a Tweet via Muse's official Twitter, that he'd be performing with Vicky Cryer in Los Angeles on July 14th, 2011.[1] The band ended up playing a few shows in 2011 and 2012, up until Muse started working on The 2nd Law. Vicky Cryer later performed an acoustic set on 11th January in 2015 in North Park, San Diego.
