Here's an Interview with CRAZEWIRE

Here's the first english REVIEW

03/26/2006

Dear Friends,

The first shows have been played and the record is out now.
Reviews are quite good, but for now only in german
language. Anyone who feels the urge to write
an english review is very welcome.

Here's a selection:

"Selten so ein reifes und vielschichtiges Debüt gehört und
schon lange nicht mehr, wie ein paar Gitarrenakkorde
wieder in solchenEinklang zusammengesungen wurden
und mich auch an Pulp und die High Llamas erinnern.
Große Sache, Platte der Woche, Reinhören bitte zum Beispiel
in „Confessions Of A One-Tricky Pony“ mit den seltsam
magischen Refraingrübchen."

-- Max Scharnigg, JETZT.de

"Bendrik Muhs setzt auf Ohrwürmer, auf soft dahingleitende
Songs mit viel Piano, akustischen Gitarren und sorgfältig
arrangierten Stimmen. Songs, die ihre Widerhaken erst bei
genauem Hinhören entfalten. Dann aber richtig.
Wunderbarer Großstadtpop. Einlegen, staunen, freuen."

-- CD-TIPP , HAMBURGER MORGENPOST

"Ein Album mit vielschichtigem Kammerpop, epischen Songs
und vertrackter lyrik, Songs, wie sie Game Theory, und
Mitch Easter in den 80ern schrieben, stilprägende
Meisterwerker,die weltweit auch nur ein paar tausend Platten
verkauft haben,während ihre Schüler R.E.M. in jedem
Supermarkt laufen."

-- Hagen Liebing, TIP

"Avocadoclub sind der Soundtrack zum verlorenen Blick aus
dem Fenster."

-- Thomas Winkler, TAZ

We also also appear on MYSPACE now!!

And...last but not least, here's my top 3 of the

worst covers ever made in pop-history.

(Thanks Christian!)

Dear Friends,

Yippie, just in time...the new website is up and running.

We're very excited about the worldwide release of our
debut album EVERYBODY'S WRONG, which is finally
coming on march, 17th.

I'm also happy to announce that avocadoclub has been
successfully transformed from a studio-project into to a
band. For the last 10 weeks we've been rehearsing in the
studio to make the tracks from the album and the first
2 ep's come alive. We play our first shows in march and
it's a great pleasure to kick off the season playing one
gig with the marvellous scottish band Ballboy.

Luckily enough we now work with same booking agency
Antistars. We're feeling very at home with them as they
have taste. Other artists in their roster that I admire are:
Suburban Kids With Biblical Names, Piney Girl and the
somewhat incredible Friedrich Liechtenstein.

Avocadoclub line-up will be: Verena (viola), Andreas (bass),
Christian (guit.), Martin (drums), Bendrik (piano, vocals).

I hope to see you out there,

Best Wishes,

Bendrik
