On Friday 11/18 Alvvays completed their US leg of tour in support of their latest album Blue Rev with a flourish of a performance. The band’s dreamy brand of indie pop was supplemented with a great opening set by Slow Pulp. Their fuzzy guitar and smooth vocals got the audience bopping along and warmed up for Alvvays.

Alvvays delivered a flawless performance worthy of both the end of their US tour and the years-long wait since their last visit to Boston. They played most of Blue Rev to a crowd that was excited to sing along to the band’s first album in half a decade. Familiar favorites like “Adult Diversion” and “Archie, Marry Me” inevitably made their appearance, and the enthusiasm in the room was palpable. The warm reception that local fans gave Alvvays on Friday hopefully convinced the band not to wait another four years before their next Boston show!
