Recaps Plus Mo' Concerts, Mo' Fun

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone had a blast at Lee's Palace. I've heard incredible things and I'm glad there was a big turn out. That said, Canadian film producer Christian Suarez was at the gig shooting footage for a potential video. More video info to come later. Before I start telling you about the new concerts that are scheduled, let's rewind just a tad.

There were a few shows Avery Island played before the Lee's Palace gig so let's talk about those briefly. On the 18th, Avery Island played two gigs; one on Markham Street in Toronto and another at the KOI Music Festival in Kitchener. I hear from my sources that both shows went wonderfully and the audience's energy on both occasions were stellar. People who were new to the sounds of Avery Island were immediately hooked. Previous bands, after they were done playing, gathered to the front of the stage while eager fans waited for the set.

Avery Island steps up to their instruments and the mic and they begin to play. Instantly, the audience was captivated. Some were so head over heels with the band, that it was noticed that some of the new fans were already logging onto the band's MySpace to check out upcoming concerts, pictures from past concerts and other audio content. In Toronto, Avery Island played a new song called Sanamunja; a track that has yet to be recorded. When I heard that this new, mysterious song was being played, I was immediately bummed out I couldn't attend the Toronto concert. There was no encore in Toronto due to the band needing to get to Kitchener for KOI. With all this said, the band was thrilled by the reaction from both shows and thanks their fans abundantly.

Alrighty, new concerts. The boys and girl have some excellent line-ups ahead and here is the rundown according to the events organized on their Facebook page. Become a fan and "like" Avery Island and be the first to receive additional concert info.

AVERY ISLAND in The City

Location: Rancho Relaxo
                300 College

More info is to be announced on this concert but I can tell you that there is a $7 cover.

AVERY ISLAND & The Warped 45's @ The Atria

Time: 9:00pm - 12:00 am

                59 King St. East
                Oshawa, ON

It's going to be a great night in Oshawa with both of these bands playing. Avery Island plays first followed by The Warped 45's. I really like The Warped 45's. Mellow sound with great uses of horns and guitars. The lead vocals are really interesting too. It's going to be an incredible show. Cover is $7.

AVERY ISLAND @ Phog Lounge

AVERY ISLAND & JUMPLE! @ The Drake Hotel
Date: Monday, October 11th
Time: 10:00pm - 2:00am
Location: Drake Underground
                1150 Queen St. West
                Toronto, ON

This is the show I'm definitely excited for AND I sure hope I'm able to make it out for this one. Avery Island plays first and Jumple follows. If you haven't head of Jumple, definitely seek them out and click on their MySpace link. They are the definition of unique party music. With all the members originating from various parts of the Soviet Union, their music immediately establishes a fun, rowdy mood with catchy tunes. I can't stop listening to Na-Na-Na and You and Me, both songs that I can guarantee will be stuck in your head for days. With all this said, there is NO COVER and a free buffet at 10pm. What more could you ask for? This night has the potential to run alongside Halloween as the best night in October.

Avery Island is continuing to work on their next EP and I'll have major news in regards to that soon. And that's all I have right now, everyone. Be sure to check up on this site more additional information regarding Avery Island, their concerts, upcoming music, and any other facts that will get your groove on.

Have a good one!
