Here it is, finally, the new Alphabeat video
to Boyfriend!
A Happy Alternative: Pop Music Lives!
Does today's music have you down? Tired of
turning that dial, searching for a song
that's not depressing, angry or violent?
Enter Alphabeat, your happy alternative. No,
they do not play alternative music. If you've
never heard of Alphabeat before, you're in
the shrinking minority. Their peculiar brand
of pop offers you sunny, happy music,
combined with real lyric writing, something
that's missing from much of today's
mainstream music.
If you were disappointed at the apparent
downfall of pop after the 80's, your reprieve
has come and it looks like they're here to
stay. Alphabeat started out in Copenhagen,
Denmark, under the name Sodastars. Their
debut singles won them immediate acclaim in
the land of the Danes and garnered them
notice in the UK, as well. Their debut album
went platinum in Denmark, as well, further
cementing their claim to the 80's pop throne.
Today, Alphabeat has relocated to the east
side of London, England and is currently
engaged in their Wonky Pop Tour. One of the
most notable appearances will be at
Glastonbury this summer, on the Park stage.
Alphabeat will take the stage on Saturday,
the halfway point of the festival.
So, what do Alphabeat have to offer the
modern listener? Well, besides happy, feel
good music, they provide an amazing show,
complete with riotous colours and shiny
outfits. Their appeal goes far beyond happy
music, though. The sheer enthusiasm with
which they take the stage is amazing and
comprises one of the main reasons to go see
this band live. Their singles, while very
good, do not do their songs justice. To truly
appreciate Alphabeat, you need decibels and
lots of them. In addition, it seems as though
they add extra elements to the songs when
done live.
Where can you catch them playing live? Check
out their website (ThisIsAlphabeat.com) or
their MySpace page; both of these will give
you great tour information. The website
actually has the entire schedule, complete
with booking information to help you get to
the show and help you find tickets.
Alternatively, you can try to win tickets
through their 10,000 Pictures contest or
through their t-shirt design contest.
Beyond that, though, you can catch them at
venues all around the UK. Their actual tour
has already kicked off, but you can still
catch them at several spots around the UK!
