“A must-see group”
-Marc Jordan
MARK LALAMA
AND
ALARM ALARM is an original Canadian roots/rock/pop music group that has been making a name for itself with inspired and spontaneous live performances. Comparisons to such artists as The Band, Leon Russell, and Randy Newman are noteworthy and the term North Orleans has emerged to describe their unique brand of genre-bending music.
“Not just any songwriter, Mark has become a brilliant chronicler of the human condition .... the longing ... the pain .. the dreams, and the joy that we all share as humans. And so his band was born to support this music in what is becoming a must see group in Ontario clubs. The band is perfectly dialled in to the unique songs and singular style created by Mark to deliver those stories, and our dreams, as they unfold before us one song at a time; each truth resonating in the universal language of the heart and explained simply by one of Canada’s most unique voices in the art of songwriting.” — Marc Jordan
They’ve performed on hundreds of stages and countless recordings.
Folks love them and say all sorts of things about them…
“LOVE! LOVE! LOVE THE BAND!!”
“You fellas are so dammed good… great players all, with oodles of feel and ears like satellite dishes...I felt like a mangy dog riding shotgun in the back seat of a Cadillac. ”
“HOLY CRAP! THIS IS AMAZING! HOLY CRAP!”
“You don’t expect to walk into a place and see something so special.”
“What a lovely time yesterday seeing Mark Lalama and Alarm Alarm - it’s always about the music and the community it creates. Whether the songs have that deep pocket or the lyrics have that clever turn of phrase or that intimate glimpse of the ordinary, they approach their music with a love and devotion to their craft and to each other. But what I love most about their music and Mark’s songwriting is the openness. Mark leaves room in his songs for all of us and an invitation.”
“I am humbled when I hear work such as yours. It is so good.”
“You guys are all monsters!”
