Alvvays - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

Why? The more people know about it and recognise their work the better. I mean, it`s nice to have this "insider" band, but that may change. I would love if my friends knew and listen to this stuff...

[@Texturas75]

We the fans are a big part of that. We should support them.

[@atte.maria9]

they sound as perfect as the studio versions omg legends

[@DaMarin94]

in dreams tonite, the "is it so naive to wonder" goes SO perfect with the melody and place in the song, It made me remember some beatles lyrics. love that song.

[@terenceoneill3075]

Dude. Excellent point. You read that phrase and think, uh, this is in a song? But you're right. She goes up in that line and peaks at the first syllable of "naive" and makes it fit seamlessly. One of the best songs I have heard in my life.

[@diego__emanuel__]

si, totalmente . Gran arreglo musical de letra y armonia. Una perlita esta cancion.

[@cgcolin]

Each KEXP live Alvvays performance is better than the previous

[@MrSuicidal69]

Very UK influence. Thinking The Sundays, The Flatmates, The Primitives, The Shop Assistants etc. Hope they continue to develop their sound and songs, like it best when the drummer and keyboardist contribute with backing vocals.

[@almal4016]

I've been the last two days listening to Alvvays two albums on repeat all day

[@samincloud]

Bueno para la salud!

[@bob1881]

10:32 Inspiration has an expiration date "Well, songs, I feel like in their infancy are always so fresh and exciting, and as time goes on and you don't necessarily have the chance to document it the way you'd like to, there's a slight mental expiration date of nabbing it, initially. And, so if you don't do that, I find a lot of pressure in chasing that sound and that energy down."

[@GH1996]

I'm an artist and she is absolutely right. And not just with music. It also happens with drawings, paintings, poems and books. You have to act quick when the inspiration comes.

Obviously I’m a little late on this comment but Alvvays brought me so much joy during a recent major depressive episode. I had the honor of seeing them live in SF this last Halloween on their first show headlining since COVID and it was pure magic. Thank you for always continuing to make me smile

[@mikedelossantos4775]

@@triggerthesound767 mostly pop? I mean they sound a lot like Jesus and Mary Chain or some of the female fronted shoegaze bands, only with more melodic elements and songs that are 100x more memorable and well written. I could call them a thousand things but pop never once came to mind. Indie Rock would be a much more accurate description, no? Some of it verges on noise rock, even. In any case I have to admit they are probably my favorite band. When the self tittled came out I listened to it so much people wanted to kill me. And antisocialites was so much better. Hope blue rev continues the trend!
