Meet the Pigs

“Rock n roll is mean, unsafe and unpredictable, but that’s what makes it so great. Alvie and the Breakfast Pigs embrace this beast. So for those who like being wrapped in your warm cozy blankets, there’s a never-ending cesspool of EDM DJ’s and Three Mile Pilots out there to tickle your stodgy souls . But for the rest of us that still like sweat, grit and fire in our music: Alvie and the Breakfast Pigs are here and ready to kick over some troughs.”

Alvie & the Breakfast Pigs

—

Alvie & the Breakfast Pigs are loud, raw, and unapologetically real. They’re here for those who wake up with last night’s eyeliner still on, who find poetry in the chaos, and who turn the volume up instead of toning it down. For anyone craving driving riffs, punchy lyrics, and the kind of energy that makes you wanna kick over a trash can, this is the right place. Blending alt and punk with a no-BS attitude, they deliver just the right mix of grit and melody to keep hearts pounding.Crank it up, sing along, and join the madness. For those who love bands that don’t hold back, Alvie & the Breakfast Pigs have something to offer.

In 2015, they traded the desert heat of Phoenix for the vibrant pulse of San Francisco, lured by the legendary music scene. Their arrival was a counterpoint to the exodus of artists fleeing the tech industry's encroachment and the soaring cost of living. Unfazed by the intimidating rents and steep prices, The Breakfast Pigs remained steadfast in their blue collar pursuit of their musical dreams.

Today, The Breakfast Pigs stand proud as one of the city's last bastions of rock, a testament to their resilience and unwavering passion. Their latest album, "Loud and Fast," released on July 31st, 2020, signifies a bold, exploratory stride in their musical journey. This dynamic two-single release finds them expanding their lyrical horizons, tackling wider societal issues beyond their personal experiences. Brimming with political discord, frenetic energy, and an undercurrent of wanderlust, it's a sonic expedition into the realm of imagination and a candid exploration of the contentious history of their country's southern border.

The Breakfast Pigs' signature sound has resonated across notable festivals, including South by Southwest in Austin, the Underground Music Showcase in Denver, and Balanced Breakfast in San Francisco. They've shared the limelight with esteemed acts such as The Down and Outlaws, The Dirty Few, No Small Children, Autonomics, Authority Zero, and The Yawpers.
