Press Info

Dub/dance rock act Avacate formed in Bristol England during 2006, forging a unique sound by soaking up many of the bright, bizarre sounds, colours and cultural influences the city has to offer.

Their music is a mash up of the underground culture taking you on a journey through rock, DnB, dub and hip-hop tinged with psychedelic over tones. They have risen from its exhilarating music scene. Avacate’s live shows are well known to get everybody dancing and losing their minds in the music, there is lots of theatrical on-stage energy and the band has their own visuals/light show that enhances the audience’s experience. German fanzine InselZound affectionately dubbed the band a ‘Punk Pink Floyd’ you can dance to.

Avacate has achieved reasonable success in just one year of their inception; highlights have included a prestigious slot at the NEC Birmingham, radio one air play by Joe Whiley and Steve Lamacq and have been remixed by Bristol drum n bass producer ‘Powder monkey’. The band also got acquainted with life on the road by completing two successful tours to Germany. After cutting their debut E.P ‘Patterns of Disharmony’ in July, the band embarked on a two month European tour to promote it, which started in England august 2007 via France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, and Denmark.

The band is now working on new material for their debut LP, which has the working title of ‘Ghost of a former self’. New song tiles include ‘Us and Them’ ‘Magdalene’ and ‘Poser’.

Lyrically/emotionally the new songs will be a lot more personal and less political than the previous E.P and sets out to question issues that our society would rather choose to ignore.

If you would like to remix the band then please check out the homepage where everyone can download and remix/mash up the songs and post them back up to discuss and interact with other users. The best remixes will be considered for future releases in the Experimentated E.P collection, not only producers are invited. “We are looking for interaction with every art form out there, if its poetry or film or anything, everyone is invited to get in touch and transform our music”.
