Intro:
Formed “over some silverware and a tablecloth”, Avalon Landing played its first show, as a trio, on January 15th 2011 at The Bunkhouse Saloon in Las Vegas, Nevada. The line-up consisted of piano/vocalist Josh Rabenold, guitar/vocalist Mike Vargovich, and guitar/vocalist Clayton Cobb. Shortly thereafter, drummer (and yes, vocalist) Ryan Martin was added and the band recorded a self-produced demo of… four original songs in their hometown of Buffalo, New York.

Returning to Las Vegas in March, Avalon Landing was featured twice on the Neon Reverb Music Festival at prominent local venues The Griffin and Beauty Bar. In May, Josh and Mike were seen performing as a duo at the 18b Music Festival in Las Vegas. In the summer of 2011, the band officially relocated to the entertainment capital of the world and connected with bassist Danny Jacobellis to round out the line-up. From there Avalon Landing has been seen performing at venues in Las Vegas such as House of Blues, The Palms, Palace Station and M Resort. In October they played at the Bite of Las Vegas sponsored by radio station Mix 94.1. November saw the band release their first album, “Demos, Dead Ends & Do Overs” on iTunes while also starting writing for a new full-length due out in 2012.
