Happy Parv is Happy

Alex 'Parv' Parvis is the lead guitarist in Area 11.

As he was involved in Sparkles*' life a long time after Digital Haunt was conceived, he cannot have had an important role in the inception of Project S*. However, due to his obvious avoidance of questions about it, he has almost certainly been briefed about it.

He believes that every song is about penguins and each one represents a different facet of the penguin psyche.

Yogscast Career

Parv and worked for the Yogscast, along with Sparkles*, as a production assistant and content producer. He was later fired after Sparkles* left by a drunk Lewis during a Civ 5 livestream, speculated to be after a long period of deteriorating relations.

"Alex joined the Yogscast team in 2012 as a Production Assistant. His role is to assist other members of the production team in providing high quality content". Quoted from here .
