“It’s a dream come true to be a fan turned band member” – Alva
Alva’s version:
When I first saw Nati perform with an interim drummer at Panic Room in 2019 I was so impressed. I knew I wanted to make music with her, but she had already promised the position to a friend, so I lay in waiting, meanwhile founding a different band with her, Flat Hierarchy, and becoming ever more convinced we were meant to cross ways both musically and personally. And in 2023 my time to shine finally came and I was knighted to being the other half of RIPYA HART. Ever since I’ve been happily banging the drums, adding more lyrics and back-ups to existing songs and brainstorming on new ones and it was absolutely worth the wait. We played a short tour of Germany and Austrian in the fall of 2023 and want to do another one in the spring of 2025. So, watch this space. xoxo
