Anyone else heard of them? They have lots of good songs. They are really good, nice mellow music and good voice.

What's their band members' age range? Haven't heard of them but I may listen to it and google them later.

I couldn't find their age range sorry but I'd say 25-35 .

From Wikipedia - Avalanche City is a folk music band from Auckland, New Zealand. The group was originally a solo project of Dave Baxter;[1] however, after he released his first album Our New Life Above The Ground he assembled a group of musicians,[2] namely Ben Duncan on drums; Johnny Brock on bass; Ben Tolich on keyboards and manjo; Strahan Cole on electric guitar, manjo, ukulele and backing vocals and Romelli Rodriguez on violin, glockenspiel, piano accordian and percussion.[3] Baxter completed his album, and then made it available for free download on the internet. He was expecting only a few hundred copies to be downloaded, but after more than 10,000 downloads he took it offline, and began to market it.

Baxter's first single Love Love Love debuted at number one on the New Zealand charts, despite little radio play. The next week it topped both the sales charts and the airtime charts.[4] It was also used as a theme song for TV2. The song achieved Gold recognition within the first 4 weeks on the charts, despite being available for free download earlier.

The group have signed a distribution deal with Warner music.[5]

This is their most popular song



I really like this one as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMVVTZO5Dck

Imo all of their songs are great. Might actually buy their album, I haven't purchased music in like 7 years. That's how good they are :)

Not bad, nothing insanely different though, I should probably listen the album over and try and get into it, but I am rather lazy -_-
