The story of Avalanche City begins with David Baxter in a house, alone, for hours and hours each day for months, slowly learning how to sing by process of scales, recording, and self critique.
Six months after taking the first steps towards singing, Baxter played his first solo show as Avalanche City. |
Six months after the first show, one year after beginning the process of teaching himself how to sing, the first tracks were laid for Avalanche City’s debut album Our New Life Above The Ground.
Armed with a sack full of vegetarian single serve curries, Dave Baxter headed into the countryside and moved into a little community hall just north of Auckland. There he spent the week alone recording and playing everything himself with only the cows and the milk trucks as company.
Once completed, the album was available free to download for four months – it received 11,000 downloads.
The album’s first official single ‘Love Love Love’ debuted at #1 on the New Zealand singles charts.
Avalanche City is currently touring internationally, playing shows in Los Angeles, New York and London. An Australian tour is to be announced later this year.
“It’s a debut to be proud of. 4/5 Stars” – NZ Herald
“A great deal of musical thought has gone onto this collection of songs, and this makes for the kind of experience that rewards both a cursory and in depth listen.” – Music.net.NZ
