HARD ROCK BAND THAT BLENDS HEAVY BRITISH AND SOUTHERN ROCK styleS. TOUR DATES INCLUDE GIGS WITH AC/DC, DERRINGER, PAT TRAVERS BAND...AND WERE CONSIDERED AS
AVALANCHE is defined by Webster's as: "an unstoppable natural force"...and this all-original rock band certainly seems to fit that definition...overcoming the odds to produce some of the very best original hard rock anywhere! With an unorthodox strategy for success in 1978 (which included 18 months of intense rehearsals, their own record label, $75,000.00 worth of state-of-the-art stage gear, and a record on over a dozen New England radio stations for three months...all before ever playing a live gig) AVALANCHE's debut show was attended by over 3500 people..and the band was immediately playing to sold-out shows and standing room only crowds wherever they appeared. Within a month after their first gig, AVALANCHE was headlining in large club venues, and shortly after that, the band was opening tour dates and sharing concert stages on AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" tour, as well as with DERRINGER, and THE PAT TRAVERS BAND. They were also considered as a tour opener for TOTO's First U.S. Tour. A tight and well rehearsed rock-n-roll machine...this band did whatever was necessary to bring studio-quality hard rock to the live-concert stage...and they did it without the support of a major record label. Now recording again, with all the surviving members of the original lineup...here is the first new AVALANCHE music in over twenty years...as well as some of their old music too, (most of the recordings have never been available before). AVALANCHE continues to defy the odds with their staying power and persistence...and by remaining "unstoppable"...they are here NOW....for you to sample and enjoy!

Story behind the song
INFO ON SongPlanet BLUES Music, Lyrics, Recording Produced by: Michael Foster Recorded by: Terry Martin @ StormSurge Studio Mixed by: Michael Foster Michael Foster: Acoustic Guitars and Vocals Written: March, 2005 Copyright 2005 by: Crystal Magic Music (ASCAP) Special thanks to: Axe and SongPlanet.com (SongPlanet TM used by permission.) I wrote this song for a Live Radio Stream Broadcast from Atlanta...for Mike Kohlgraf's "Saturday Night Rocks" Radio Show on SongPlanet.com. The actual date of that show was March 25, 2005. For anyone who has listened to Avalanche music...you probably know that acoustic music isn't really what I do...but I decided to accept Mike's gracious invitation...it was a chance for me to do something I hadn't done before...and I ended up playing ten songs in the acoustic format. I found out that I had a lot of fun doing it...so who knows...there will probably be more of this stuff in the future. My aplogies to DJ Misanthropy for not being included in the lyrical content of this song...he is a big part of the SP family...but he isn't listed as "DJ Sam"...which would have been easy to rhyme something to...but "Misanthropy" was another matter entirely. I promise to try to work on another verse Sam! After the show in Atlanta, I stopped in to Terry Martin's place in Spring Hill, Florida for a five-day stay...as it is sort of on the way back to North Palm Beach, Florida where I live. While there...I decided to record this tune at Terry's StormSurge Studio...and since I had brought a lot of my recording gear with me to Atlanta...we were able to get a pretty nice recorded version of this tune for my SP page...for all who chose to listen that night, to enjoy. Special thanks to Terry...who provided his studio, and his engineering skills...at no cost. Thanks bro! Since then this song has been very well-received by listeners (much to my surprise)...and so I have included it among the songs I have posted here...under the Avalanche name. This would probably be more correctly labeled as "AVALANCHE UNPLUGGED" It was great fun to do...and I hope all of you here at SC enjoy this, as well! Hugs...Mike (NAV) (Photograph by: Mark Brett/Positive Negatives)
Lyrics
SongPlanet BLUES My phone is always busy... As if it's off the hook... My friends can't seem to find me... No matter where they look... 'Cause I've found another planet... And SongPlanet is its name... And since I've found SongPlanet... The radio is really lame. All the people there are friendly... The place is really "fat"... I keep saying..."sorry, got to go ...cause I'm really late for Chat"... 'Cause I've found another planet... And SongPlanet is its name... And since I've found SongPlanet... It seems my life just ain't the same. INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE Got guys like Terry Martin... Got Axe, and Jilly, too... And Saturdays at seven... Mike will rock your world 'til two... Got Hawk, and Ridd, and Ranch, and Ed... And dont forget Slarou! And Kal, and Prong, and Ann are there... So tell me...why aren't you? And since I've found SongPlanet... The radio...it just wont do. So if you cannot find me... You now know where I'll be... I've found another planet... And the place has set me free... 'Cause I've found another planet... SongPlanet is its name... And since I've found SongPlanet... The radio...well, the radio is really lame! (spoken) END
