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!
