Alvvays Tickets

It’s tough to beat The Fillmore for its historical relevance as an iconic venue. And despite loving the band and being hyped to see them perform, when a staff is as courteous and professional as they were on Wednesday, plus a sound engineering crew that doesn’t lazily default to a heavy bass in the mix that so prevalent these days, it makes for a truly unforgettable experience. From the line in, to search, to ticketing, to wristbands, to the bar, to the merch table, to the ushers, to the poster handlers on the way out. Fantastic event.

the band was great. there were unruly mustached Hawaiian shirt wearing ingrates MOSHING (semi-understandable but totally inconsiderate of literally everyone in the immediate vicinity) despite fervent pushback. One even had the gall to taunt me to "have fun" when I was getting involuntarily bashed every 3 seconds. I was in the same spot for over an hour. Unreal.

Amazing show. I really hope these guys (mostly gals!!!!) keep putting out great albums. I could see them playing arenas one day

Haven't seen alvvays back in Boise since Treefort. 2 band bill on a weeknight with the support band being Slow Pulp was a welcome sight. Kicked off at 8 and Slow Pulp ripped a set and was done by 8:30. 9 Alvvays goes on.. They just put out a new album which rocks of course. They played a ton of new songs which is totally welcome as well as some of their big hits like Archie, Marry Me and In Undertow. They even got a two song encore. Great gig. Well attended.

I was blown away by Slow Pulp and Alvvays, especially Alvvays. They are one of the rare bands that actually sounds even more incredible live than they do on their records. I can't wait to see them again. The Depot is an okay venue. The sound guys do a great job. In fact, all the staff I encountered were very nice people. I noticed on a set of stairs in the venue, one of the steps had no reflective tape on it. I saw probably 50 people stumble over that step. The venue was also PACKED, uncomfortably packed. They sell fried food at the bar, and it tends to stink. I was quite happy with my Liquid Death ($5) which came out of the freezer and had bits of slush in it--it was absolutely delicious.

It was fun, the band did a great job. Sound quality was great, lighting was awesome. Just wish I could have heard the band talk a little more.

Alvvays was unbelievably good! They sound even better than they do on their albums. The chemistry between band members and the stage presence they command is impressive and makes for a really great and high energy show!

All ages shows are a no-go for me going forward. So much of the high school/college crowd just recorded way way way too much. Social media has ruined shows. One person directly in front of me must have recorded 6-7 entire songs. So frustrating. Music sounded good, but the phones killed the ambiance.

I’ve seen Alvvays in the past, but this was next level. The atmosphere was amazing and the music was better than the recordings. Slowpulp was great too! Much love to all bands and those in attendance.

A+ so very good. Made me regret missing them the last time they came through.

molly rankin is the best songwriter to come along since the early nineties. the show in portland was electric. when music resonates with people you can't help but respond. it was hot, sweaty and the crowd swayed in solidarity.

It was awesome seeing Alvvays, I've been wanting to for a while now. Wonderful venue at Port City Music Hall as well.

The bands - especially Alvvays - as well as the venue were terrific.

Saw Alvvays as an opener to Spoon, loved their performance. Sound was a bit muddy but Molly's vocals rang through and the keyboard was also very audible which was great. Played a lot of their new album which helped me discover a few new songs I still hadn't listened to in depth before. Would totally recommend seeing this band live.

The band was OK. Not a great live band, but not bad either. No better or worse than just listening to one of their studio albums. However, the mix was terrible. This is jangle pop. You have to be able to hear the high end -- vocals, lead guitar, high end of the keys. The Fillmore had the sound set for a different kind of band. The keys were way too loud, especially the low end. The kick -- which you can barely hear on any of their albums -- was louder than anything. Basically, the low end overpowered what you expect to hear from a band like this. The poor mix turned an average show into a below average one.

Alvvays is definitely my new favorite band! Their song writing ability is amazing! I loved their first album so much that I was scared that it had to go downhill after that, but amazingly their second album is just as good or maybe even better (can't decide). The good news is that they are playing almost every song from both albums on this tour. I WILL ALWAYS GO TO EVERY ALVVAYS SHOW THAT I CAN AND YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME.

This was my first time at the Paradise Rock Club and I can say with confidence that it will not be the last one. Great acoustic and great location. The bars are perfectly distributed so it is easy to get a drink. Alvvays put together a remarkable show! Maybe they should have kept a couple of hits for the 'encore'. I would love to see them again and again and again.

The time listed on the ticket was 8pm, but the opening act did not start playing until 9, but that is to be expected. Open act was impressively good, I enjoyed it. Alvvays sounded great live, I was able to hear every instrument clearly and distinctly. They were very nice too, I think the lead singer said "thank you" after every song. Great experience, would recommend to everyone.

Muddy sound, couldda been louder, great gig Look forward to some new material

This band does melodic, melancholy garage pop better than anyone I've heard in a long time. I've seen them three times and they have a wonderfully fresh and infectious sound without a hint of pretension. Just blissful pop with a great balance of jangly guitars, keyboard and singer Molly's sweet (but never saccharine) vocals. The album is consistently strong with hooks galore.
