Avacate

Avacate biography (September 2012)

Avacate (pronounced A-VACATE) from Bristol U.K, forge a unique twist on the rock perspective. Laden with emotive female vocals, post rock guitars regurgitated by crazy FX pedals, the core glued down by punky dub bass and driven by high octane drumming.
.
Having achieved notable DIY success since its inception in late 2005, highlights for the group include completing numerous tours across Europe via England, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, taking in all manner of venues and events, Clubs, Squats, Cafes, Festivals, a Castle and a Women’s prison in Germany. Including a prestigious slot at the NEC Birmingham U.K opening for Sikth (music live)
Official releases include ‘Patterns of Disharmony’ E.P. A Rock/Reggae affair that also features the hot talents of Jamaica’s Troy Ellis (son of Alton) and Bristolian MC Shadz (Wedge/M4records/Central Spillz) Followed by their début album ‘Ghost Of A Former Self’ and a remix LP 'Inside The Future Of A Shattered Past' (2010) through U.K label Inner City Grit. As well as various limited live releases also firmly under the bands belt.

Avacate Press quotes;
Johnny Morgan (Senser): “Sounds good to me, a tight blend of heavy, funky and melodic stuff going on, they’ve got their own sound." ..
.
Paul Towler (Bristol Rocks): "The full-on intensity of Avacate's octane driven soundscape is fuelled by colossal layers of treated guitars bolstered high in the mix, giving this band a distinct signature sound"
.
Ian Mathews (Kasabian): “I really like it, I think Avacate is excellent, good music and I particularly enjoy the vocals.”
.
Luke Hannam (Gramme/Play Group): “It’s got a clear commercial edge and combines the best of the experimental edge they had at the beginning with pop suss and sensibility
