The Alvas are a rock trio from Edinburgh with the classic line up of bass, drums and guitar. We all sing and are proud of our 3 part harmony vocals. We've been together since October 2006 and already have plenty of gigs under our belt. We like to play hard and love to keep our gigs intense and exciting. Austen George is the front man, lead vocalist, guitarist, piano player and song writer. His last band was The Set Up. Drummer Will has been playing since age 5 and has played Glastonbury Main Stage with Eliza Carthy and Glasgow Green to 200,000 people. Bass player Simon has been playing since age 12 and has played T in the Park and toured Europe. Simon and Will have been inseperable as a rhythm section for almost 15 years.
Contact the band through myspace or TheAlvas@hotmail.co.uk. If you'd like to keep updated with the band's goings on including gig/event announcements, punch in your email address below!
