Houston, get ready for a musical extravaganza as The Alarm and Mason Ramsey light up HOB Houston, Ramsey in the Bronze Peacock this Friday, May 3, 2024. With their distinct styles and passionate performances, these artists promise a night filled with diverse sounds and unforgettable moments.
The Alarm, a legendary Welsh rock band known for their anthemic songs and energetic live shows, brings decades of musical prowess to the stage. From their early hits like "68 Guns" to their latest releases, The Alarm's music has resonated with generations of fans, earning them a dedicated following worldwide. With frontman Mike Peters leading the charge, their performances are a testament to the enduring power of rock and roll.
In 1977, a punk band was formed in Rhyl, Wales, billed as "The Toilets". It contained Mike Peters (alias Eddie Bop), Glyn Crossley (alias Steve Shock), Richard "O'Malley" Jones (alias Bo Larks) and Nigel Buckle (alias Des Troy). The band ceased to exist in 1978; they renamed themselves Quasimodo and played note-for-note covers of The Who's Live at Leeds with guitarist Dave Sharp. This group also included Karl Wallinger on keyboards. Later the group named themselves Seventeen with both Mike Peters and Nigel Buckle alongside Eddie MacDonald (who had been Mike Peters' next-door-but-one neighbour in Edward Henry Street, Rhyl). Seventeen began as a three-piece but were joined by guitarist David Kitchingman (who changed his name to Dave Sharp) and became a power pop mod band that released the single ("Don't Let Go"/"Bank Holiday Weekend") in March 1980
and toured with the Stray Cats later that year. They played their last concert under the name of Alarm Alarm in January 1981 at the Half Moon, Herne Hill, London.
The band soon reformed under the new name of The Alarm (with Nigel Buckle changing his surname to 'Twist'), and played their first gig at The Victoria Hotel, Prestatyn, North Wales on 6 June 1981, opening with "Shout to the Devil", which later appeared on the album Declaration.
The same evening at HOB Houston its the young and talented Mason Ramsey, whose meteoric rise to fame as a country music sensation has captured hearts around the globe. Known for his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics, Mason Ramsey brings a fresh perspective to the country music scene, blending traditional sounds with modern sensibilities. His viral success and undeniable talent have made him a favorite among music lovers of all ages.
The Alarm
Sixty Eight Guns
Ramsey, from Golconda, Illinois, was seen on camera singing "Lovesick Blues" in a Walmart store in Harrisburg, Illinois. Within a few days, videos of his performance collectively garnered over 25 million views and he became a viral sensation and internet meme. Ramsey's performance sparked new interest in Hank Williams' 70-year-old recording of the song and in March of that year Rolling Stone reported that Spotify's Viral 50 chart for the U.S. ranked Williams' "Lovesick Blues" at number three, and number four around the globe.
From The Alarm's anthems that inspire unity and resilience to Mason Ramsey's heartfelt ballads that tug at the heartstrings, Friday night's performances promise a journey through the diverse landscape of music. Whether you're a rock aficionado or a country music enthusiast, there's something for everyone to enjoy at HOB Houston.
