Karl Alvarez: Not Dead Yet

Punknews.org broke the story last night and the media swarmed—Legendary punk bassist Karl Alvarez had a heart attack (albeit, a little one), and needs help paying the bills. We’re huge fans of The Descendent’s four string slinger and have trekked to every local ALL and Descendents show to listen to him babble endlessly about just about anything. At last month’s Only Crime show, Life In A Bungalo chatted up Bill Stevenson (who was manning the t-shirt booth) and was tipped off that Bill and Karl will be pitching in for the upcoming Lemonhead’s tour in the fall. The duo played rhythm on the last record, but have yet to tour behind Evan Dando. Hopefully Alvarez will be able to make the gigs.
