Avail return down under for the first time in 8 years

Hardly in need of any introduction, AVAIL boasts heavyweight status as one of America’s longest running punk bands of merit. Originally conceived in the suburbs and shadow of late ’80s DC hardcore, the band soon relocated to Richmond, Virginia where the band has called home for the past 15 years. With years of incessant touring, studio and live albums including classic releases such as ‘Satiate’, ‘Dixie’ and ‘4 A.M. Friday’ (which along with ‘Over The James’ have recently been re-issued by Jade Tree), Avail’s high-energy melodies, thundering breakdowns and occasional classic rock riffs gradually integrated more and more of the band’s Richmond roots. Having toured Australia in 1998 with Lagwagon, October 2006 will see Avail return down under for the first time in 8 years. Check shows page for details.
