HARD ROCK BAND THAT BLENDS HEAVY BRITISH AND SOUTHERN ROCK styleS. TOUR DATES INCLUDE GIGS WITH AC/DC, DERRINGER, PAT TRAVERS BAND...AND WERE CONSIDERED AS
AVALANCHE is defined by Webster's as: "an unstoppable natural force"...and this all-original rock band certainly seems to fit that definition...overcoming the odds to produce some of the very best original hard rock anywhere! With an unorthodox strategy for success in 1978 (which included 18 months of intense rehearsals, their own record label, $75,000.00 worth of state-of-the-art stage gear, and a record on over a dozen New England radio stations for three months...all before ever playing a live gig) AVALANCHE's debut show was attended by over 3500 people..and the band was immediately playing to sold-out shows and standing room only crowds wherever they appeared. Within a month after their first gig, AVALANCHE was headlining in large club venues, and shortly after that, the band was opening tour dates and sharing concert stages on AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" tour, as well as with DERRINGER, and THE PAT TRAVERS BAND. They were also considered as a tour opener for TOTO's First U.S. Tour. A tight and well rehearsed rock-n-roll machine...this band did whatever was necessary to bring studio-quality hard rock to the live-concert stage...and they did it without the support of a major record label. Now recording again, with all the surviving members of the original lineup...here is the first new AVALANCHE music in over twenty years...as well as some of their old music too, (most of the recordings have never been available before). AVALANCHE continues to defy the odds with their staying power and persistence...and by remaining "unstoppable"...they are here NOW....for you to sample and enjoy!

Story behind the song
Produced, Arranged, and Mixed by: Michael Foster Engineered by: Mark Easton Initial Arrangement: Stephanie Krowka Final Arrangement: Michael Foster Recorded in June 2009 at ROUGH CUT STUDIO, Eastford, Conn. Mixed in April, 2010 at GOLDEN SUN STUDIO, North Palm Beach, Florida. Mastered by David Pendragon in April, 2010 at THE STUDIO, Canberra, Australia. Stephanie Krowka: Bass, Lead Vocal, Harmony Vocal. Mark Easton: Electric Guitar (Right), Lead Guitar Fills, Outro solo, Harmony vocal. Michael Foster: Electric Guitar (Left) EVENTIDE HARMONIZER solo w/ Guitar answers Barry Easton: Drums. This is a song Stephanie wrote the basic musical framework and lyrics for last summer (2009). Once work on this track began in earnest...the need for new music for the chorus and a different arrangement for the remainder of the tune became pretty necessary. I tried to accomplish that without changing the essence of Stephanie's original vision...and hopefully you guys will like the end results as much as we all do. According to Stephanie, a ring around the moon usually signifies an atmospheric condition that brings inclement weather. In the context of a relationship...the storm clouds that inevitably show up from time to time can take on many forms...but the only real way to keep them from festering and growing or to head off any problems on the horizon is by open communication between partners. Stephanie decided this was a good metaphor to use as she wrote this song...and it fits right in with the overall theme of her debut CD "DEEPLY"...which is composed of songs examining different aspects of personal relationships and personal growth. Stephanie continues to grow as a songwriter and an artist...and additional new music is on the horizon as she works to complete her first CD.
Lyrics
RING AROUND THE MOON Lyrics by: Stephanie Krowka Copyright 2010 by Stephanie Krowka and CRYSTAL MAGIC MUSIC PUBLISHING (ASCAP). CHORUS There's a ring around the moon Clouds are forming in the sky And I can sense the doom and gloom And tears are falling from our eyes The elephant is in the room It's like the devil in disguise There's a ring around the moon Catch the love before it flies (Repeat Chorus) VERSE 1 We both sit here in this room Eye to eye and face to face We've got nothing much to say Silence is loud in this place We both know what's on our minds It's hard to cut to the chase If we don't pull up these blinds These hearts will leave without a trace REPEAT CHORUS TWICE BRIDGE Picking up the pieces day by day There's just a lot of things we have to say It's the only way we're gonna tell Let's talk this out and try to gel 'Cause I know that we don't do this well It's the only way we can tell... EVENTIDE HARMONIZER SOLO and ANSWERS OUTRO SOLO END
