“ALIVE IN L.A.” is a two-track single by Parousia.   Side ‘A’ is “No Time For Keron” (1998) the only studio recording made by the band since arriving in Los Angeles in 1987. (Until the band’s reunion in 2018 and subsequent release of new studio recordings).  “No Time For Keron” features original members, Gerry Cannizzaro (drums), Patt Connolly (vocals /keyboards) and Robert Lowden (vocal/guitar/bass). Lowden weaves a haunting melody over Connolly’s unique vocal stylings and chaotic experimental keyboard, together forming a thick and moody alternative rock song and a 90’s Parousia classic.
 
Side ‘B’ is a live version of “May’s Gone”, written by Robert Lowden and recorded at The Music Machine, Santa Monica, CA. 1989. “Mary’s Gone” is one of the band’s best rock ballads. An emotionally charged song that laments the recent death of a loved one and the sense of loss and confusion that follows.  Featuring musicians: Patt Connolly (vocal); Robert Lowden (guitar); Gerry Cannizzaro (drums) and joining the band on keyboards is Marty Leggett from Reno, Nevada. “Mary’s Gone” is an adjunct to the band’s later release, “No Songs For Mary” (2019).
