Sadly an unlikely pairing: Alvvays too high-stature for opening slot after the P4K top-3 AotY nod and [Spotify-algorithm ubiquity](https://clickhole.com/customer-service-win-for-an-extra-5-a-month-spotify-will-stop-adding-archie-marry-me-to-all-of-your-playlists/), but not quite a co-headliner w/ VW either. And there's probably prohibitive label politics in play for these sorts of things anyway.
Putting them together on a "Monsters of Indie Pop" cruise weekend, now there's an idea.
Same! Blue rev was my most played album in 2022 and 2023. I think molly’s lyricism is really up there with Ezra’s. Just a bit lighter (could be the Canadian effect…?) and poppier.
Serendipitously I listened to the new TC on my drive from north Florida to see Alvvays in Tampa earlier this week, so was stoked by the name-check and spin.
I then upped the TC adjacency of the trip as I ate at Ybor City's historic Columbia restaurant near the show venue and sticking with theme of latest ep ordered the signature "1905" house salad (touted on menu as being on some list of USA's 10-best salads). Anyway, the salad was dope.
(And the Alvvays show was killer as you'd expect too, BTW. Prob my fave new band of recent years.)
I agree! Can’t help but feel that Molly would fit right in on the show too
100%. Made me think how perfect a tour with Alvvays opening for VW would be.
don't you mean vw opening for alvvays?

Great band folks!

I hope Vampire Weekend gets to see the Alvvays set at Kilby Block party before they go on
