Alexander Victor, Altarsound and WE-III: Trick or Treat?


It's 11.00pm, thursday night in leyton. A group of people are chatting away, getting to know each other better and catching up with lots of jokes + laughs. 11.20pm, the leader calls their attention and after a prayer session they get to the business of the night. It's the first joint rehearsal of Alexander Victor and Altarsound with guest ministers. With Aaron T Aaron, Toye D Toye and Gina Gee in the house and Jake Isaac expected to arrive any moment, it looks like an interesting night.

Question what are these guys all about? What's all the buzz about WE-II "The Love Affair" every minute on Facebook? Is this another "trick" to get us hyped up or a special "treat" for everyone?

Let's find out!


I'll give you more details about the rehearsal, plus some personal insight on the 'who's' and 'what's'

Who is Alexander Victor?
Alexander Victor
Sound engineer, Musician, Multi-instrumentalist, Producer, Teacher, Pastor, Worship Leader, Author, Radio/TV presenter  etc etc. A simple way to describe Alexander Victor is a 'crazy, radical but humble man who is a open book; he says what he means and means what he says.' Having had the chance to observe from afar and closely, I'd say he has a passion for what he does that is infectious. Did I mention he is funny! Ask those who know him, five minutes around him and you will have had a burst of laughter.

Altarsound - The Team : What's different about them?

A bunch of regular guys who seem to enjoy each other's company and pour out all their emotions into every song, move and dance. One minute, they are all having a laugh, the next minute they are crazy worshippers! It's 3.00 am and these guys are still up and running! After many months of rehearsals, they never seem to get enough!

WE-III "The Love Affair" :  Hype or Prototype?

It's difficult to say exactly what it is. Events happen everywhere everyday so 19-NOV-11 shouldn't make much difference, should it? But then the theme of this event is amusing - The Love Affair. What has love got to do with a music concert? Are we up for another unnecessary noise or could there be something about this event that makes it stand out? Did I mention there's an event on the morning of the same day - Oasis - with full breakfast and it's free!

Who would do two events on the same day? Intriguing!

The best way to find out would probably to attend. So come around and see for yourself! Plus I have added some pictures from the rehearsal and videos that might just give you some visual perspective. For more pictures, click here.
