Not to be confused with avant-soul group Ava Luna (who played our 29th issue party last night), Avan Lava is an electronic Brooklyn band that seems to find inspiration in Prince’s mix of dancy tunes and irresistible soul melodies, sung in a vocal range alternating from tenor to falsetto. This is music with the potential to animate a lot of upcoming parties, check them out on 02.25 at Mercury Lounge for their CD release party. Opening, Chrome Canyon, formed by ex members of legendary Apes & Androids, which were featured on the cover of The Deli’s 15th issue – that was 2007.
