Bio
The Avenues
Two EP’s down, one killer debut album ready to roll. Life for The Avenues is about to get busy.
Formed in 2003, The Avenues have made a name as one of Perth’s best exponents of melodic rock. With two successful EP’s (The Avenues – Feb 2004/ Slow Moving – May 2005) that achieved national airplay and strong media reviews behind them, the Avenues have grown into an emotive and powerful outfit ready to take the next big step up.
Their live shows are tight, captivating, with a powerful dynamic presence. Playing with some of Australia’s top acts plus touring nationally and internationally over the past three years has helped harden their gig feet that are going to carry them on up that hill.
Their forthcoming debut album ‘All That You Are’ marks the beginning of the next phase of the existence of The Avenues, with the recording marking both new song-writing styles for the band and a new depth to their sound. Eighteen songs were demoed in March 2006 with the majority of the writing coming from guitarist/ vocalist Andy Lawson.
Making themselves home at Perth’s Blackbird Studios with 2006 WAMI Award winning producer Dave Parkin (Red Jezebel/ Panda Band/ Snowman), ‘All That You Are’ was recorded from April to May 2006. With a more layered and lush sound, and an almost darker edge to the album it shows a side of The Avenues that will surprise many, yet delight even more in aural pleasure.
