Supremely Awesome Music= AVA LUNA

I was on one of my late night musical treasure hunts, which is always dangerous because I may come across a band like Ava Luna and be entirely unable to sleep. Holy shit I’m excited to have found this band!

Based in NYC, Ava Luna rocks a trio of do-woppin synchronized female voices and an insanely soulful frontman backed by a section of synthesizer industrial-alt soul-punkesq beats base and rhythm. It’s like a spoonful of your favorite ice cream combined with sticking your tongue on a 9 volt battery; a delicious dopamine filled shock of sound. 

I would highly recommend BOTH Ava Luna’s Services EP and their album 3^rd Avenue Island. Services is available here for download via donation of $2 or more.

Support Ava Luna on Facebook, follow them on the Twitters and check out their show on August 2 in Brooklyn. Get your tickets here
