The Alarm was a lot more rock than new wave, so that was cool. We weren't completely out of place, haha. They hung out in their tour bus the entire time, so we didn't get to actually talk to them or anything, but it was still a cool gig and it gave us some good exposure, especially to some of the local radio stations that had some DJs and street teams in attendance. |

I guess The Alarm were bigger over here than in the US. I listened a lot to them in the 80's, didn't even know they were still at it...
