Musical Festivities With AVALANCHE

Musical Festivities With AVALANCHE

Author: HEAVY Magazine December 14, 2024 Duration: 18:11
The Koala Tavern in Capalaba will host the inaugural Rock Is Not Dead Festival on February 1, 2025.
Self-funded and put together by a group of Australian music lovers who aim to help nurture and promote the wealth of talent in our own backyard, Rock Is Not Dead will feature 8 of the hottest bands from around the country, each with their own unique flair and passion for music.
Headliners Avalanche (the next big thing), Tailor Made Rejects (the unapologetic alt. rockers), Snake Bite Whisky (the kings of sleaze), Black Whiskey (pure Aussie rock), Stone Rising (underrated icons), Whiskey On The Rox (a crowd-pleasing 80s cover band), Goatzilla (legends of the live show), and Slythr (the up-and-coming rock prodigies) will assemble over one afternoon/night of live music unlike anything seen in the Bayside of Brisbane, over one stage with no clashes or scheduling conflicts.
HEAVY spoke with Avalanche about the show and more.
In the full interview, we discussed Rock Is Not Dead Festival, which features an eclectic line-up of bands. Avalanche shared their experience playing at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music, describing it as their biggest show yet and one of their best performances. They also mentioned their interactions with other bands at the festival, including Thirsty Merc, Jebediah, and Rose Tattoo.
We talked about their latest single, Dad, I Joined a Rock N Roll Band, which is part of an EP compilation of their singles from the past year. Avalanche mentioned that they are planning a return trip to Japan for a tour next year, following a successful tour earlier this year. They also hinted at a big tour early next year, aiming to hit as many Australian dates as possible. Avalanche recommended their songs Arm to the Teeth, Bottle of Sin, and their latest single for those unfamiliar with their music and plenty more.
