[DID NOT ATTEND: November 12, 2022] Alvvays / Slow Pulp
Back in 2017, my wife and I saw Alvvays for the second time (first headline show). And I wrote
But holy cow were we surprised that they sold out! (And good for them).
I had no idea that people even knew that much about them. But the sold out crowd were huge fans as people were singing along left and right.
And yet here they were again playing Franklin Music Hall, the largest small venue in Philly. So evidently they have a huge fan base.
I hadn’t listened much to the new album, but I figured they were bond to put on a good show.
The problem was that we already had tickets to see Darlingside at a super intimate venue. It was hard to give up those tickets!
But then we wound up going on vacation and weren’t able to go to anything that evening at all.
Slow Pulp is a funny name. Especially if (like to me) it sounds like your band is just a slower version of the band Pulp, which they are not. Rather, they are kind of a slow version of Alvvays. They are slow and introspective. Seems like a good (if maybe dull?) fit.
