Parisian punky power-pop band Alvilda released their debut album, C’est Déjà L’heure (“It’s Already Time”), last fall via Static Shock. It’s a lot of fun, full of harmonies, breathless rhythms and melodies that will stick in your head even if you don’t speak a word of French. Recommended for fans of Dolly Mixture and Flamin’ Groovies, or more modern groups like Melenas or Giuda. Listen to the album below.
Alvida just began their first-ever US tour on Wednesday in Boston and they play NYC tonight (7/17) at TV Eye with LOOSEY, Veneno, and Disket. All tour dates are below.
The TV Eye show is a pre-party for On The Streets Again 3, the two-day festival at Brooklyn Monarch on Friday & Saturday (July 18 & 19) which recently added even more artists, most notably Memphis rapper Tommy Wright III who joins the lineup of mostly punk-leaning rock bands on Friday. Friday also has Rome’s Giuda (speak of the devil), Home Front, The Kids, Long Knife, Lost Legion, Liberty and Justice, Pena Maxima, Broken Cuffs, Intimidation, War Lovers, and Vile Enemy. Saturday has Annihilation Time, Crux, Claimed Choice, Bog People, No Time, Fuerza Bruta, Concrete Elite, No Guard, and XL Bully.
