mcr profile
The Avatars breathe fresh life into Detroit's bluesy, garage rock
scene. Though with their pop harmonies and extremely infectious
melodies, it is not entirely accurate to lump them into the garage rock
genre. The band is fronted by Mariah Cherem, who's bluesy vocals
are supported by a solid, guitar-driven sound behind her. With a
sound that is tighter and more balanced than most garage bands, the
Avatars build on Detroit blues-rock.
Hailing from Ann Arbor, the band was formed in
the spring of 2003. Singer Mariah Cherem had previously been
playing with the Done Wrongs along with Don Blum and Jason Stollsteimer
of the Von Bondies. Bassist Chris Box
Taylor also plays with Scott Morgan's Powertrane
and guitarist Charlie Lorenzi comes all the way from Argentina where he
played with The Coronados. Charlie and drummer Claudia Leo, run
the hip Ann Arbor label No Fun Records. --Ryan Sult
