What a fun filled night with Alvvays at Aggie Theatre on May 9, 2024 in Fort Collins, CO. Supporting Alvvays was Horse Jumper of Love, who really kicked off the night.

Alvvays

Toronto-based, Alvvays, has a combination of jangly indie pop with infectious, sugary melodies and melancholy noise rock. Earning them a devoted following & to being one of the flagbearers of the ongoing popularity of the C-86 sound. They first made a splash with the awkward but pretty single “Archie, Marry Me”. The song was featured on their assured self-titled debut from 2014. Future albums retained the building blocks of their early sound, with 2022’s Blue Rev adding elements of ’90s indie rock and shoegaze.
