At the show, the band debuted new music alongside songs from ‘Our Little Visionary’ and ‘Happy Ending’, with Reeves telling Billboard of the band: “It’s a space that I love, and a space that I tried to protect.”
Reeves also shared that one of his favorite bands at the moment are Alvvays. Speaking to NME, the John Wick: Chapter 4 actor opened up about his fondness for the indie group, but admitted he’s still yet to buy their latest album, ‘Blue Rev’, on LP.
“I don’t have their new record. I bought it digitally, but I don’t have it on vinyl,” said Reeves. Explaining why they’re currently one of his favourite groups, the actor said: “I like me a good pop song and I like me a kind of inventiveness in it. And I think the lead singer [Molly Rankin], she’s great…And I love the textures in it. I mean, I love bass guitar and drums and I like their energy.
