History:
Marshall Rake and Charlie Naramore became quasi-famous in their previous band The Shaggy Haired Outcasts. On the otherwise sad day of that bands conclusion they officially formed Avenue. With the vocal talents of Lexi Schmidt, Dan Smith on bass, and Andrew Kong on drums, these junior veteran rockers have given themselves a second chance. Starting where The Shaggy Haired Outcasts left off with melodic indie rock songs, Avenue added a much more upbeat and poppy feel to that formula.
