Lavers have been kicking around since 2011, crafting some of the catchiest indie-pop hooks, including this earworm from a few years back.

On Saturday at Poets For Breakfast, Alicia Sparkles and Fossil Rabbit will be performing alongside a host of poets, so make sure you’re up early and ready to go!
