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
Well...it seems that someone new to the BLUES Collabs here at SC posted a backing track in the SC BLUES FORUM...with an open challenge for anyone to do what they could with it...and then see what happened next...it was going to be some kind of contest. I just liked the idea of doing something on this one...and so I'll leave the judging to others...but it was a lot of fun doing this one. Thanks Dan...for the idea. Personally...I think the backing track ended a bit abruptly...and that's a shame because I think I would have liked to have seen this track go just a litle bit longer...I think it could have improved the track considerably. However...we were all subject to the same "rules"...so I did the best I could to work with what was there to work with. On this number...I wrote lyrics and sang the vocals. I also played Hammond Organ, Electric guitar, and played the Piano Outro. It was a lot of fun...and I only spent one day in total on the entire project...including all the mixing time, too...so I hope it sounds OK to anyone who listens to this one. Enjoy! Mike (NAV)

NOT MY STYLE LYRICS BY: Michael Foster COPYRIGHT 2008 by: Crystal Magic Music Publishing (ASCAP) VERSE 1 Well I was walking down the street...just the other day I saw a beauty on the corner...she started walking my way And when we met I asked her..."are you going my way?" CHORUS And she said....."You're not....my....style.... Yes she said......"You're not....my style... I said "Wait a minute honey....can we talk about this for a while?" VERSE 2 Because... I like the way you walk....and I like the way you move... I like to hear you talk....and I like the way you groove... And I'm pretty sure honey... That we could have some fun... So if you'd just give me a chance... Maybe I could be your ONLY one... CHORUS And she LAUGHED and said..."you're not...my...style..." She LAUGHED and said......"you're not.....my style..." So I said...."What you doing here out on the corner? "Just passing out your winks and your smiles?" ORGAN SOLO CHORUS The more I thought about it...the more upset I got... So I looked right at her eyes and said... "You're not....MY....style..." Yeah I looked right at her and said... "You're NOT....my style..." "I just wanted to be friends...but you made me feel like I'm on trial...and you KNOW that ain't right honey!" GUITAR SOLO PIANO OUTRO END

NOT MY STYLE ...well it is you style, too, most definitely. Don´t bother too much about the girl. Mike, maybe this is a lesson about the essence of music, which has, and I guess seniors is the place to say so, not too much to do with genres, but with emotions, with vibrations, expressed in string quartets, rock or big bands, or sequencers. Great piece, love it! And man, you´re not only a composer, arranger, outstanding guitar player, but a SINGER, too! Wow!
