When romantically entangled artists team up to make musical magic, an irresistible chemistry emanates from their sweet-rockin’ lovemaking. Though we can’t get enough of the poppy pas de deux of folks like Lullabye Arkestra and the Handsome Family, the imminent arrival of smokin’ Portland couple-rockers Viva Voce, who warm up the Kool Haus (1 Jarvis) for the Shins Saturday (March 17), got us thinking about fantasy couple collabos we’d love to see.
