5/19/2006 Eric Luvold of The Alarmists at the Varsity

Slick rock band The Alarmists played a potent and tight set last Friday as the opening band at The TV Sound CD release show at the always glamorous Varsity Theater. Catch The Alarmists next at the nationally-advertised (if a couple of lines in Spin Magazine counts) How Was the Show 4th Anniversary Party, this Saturday, May 27th at the Turf Club. They'll be sharing the stage with the love-folky Stook, dark-popsters The Debut, sleek rockers White Light Riot and my secret boyfriends, the sweet and catchy Alva Star. If that's not enough adjectives and hyphens for you, the HWTS party will take care of your sentence structure needs and more.
