On Sat., Feb. 25, starting at 8p, you can catch a free show featuring Irrelevent and Cody Miles at Avenue L. Irrelevent, a 2-man group from Dallas, describe themselves as "a Grass Roots rap project." Cody Miles is performing solo this show (and currently working on an album called Apocrypha - to be released in April), but he is also in a group called Kenosis.

For more info on these guys, go see them on the 25th! (And click the links above, of course!)

Cody sent us a couple mp3s to put here on the blog, but since we can't easily upload those mp3s, here are a few examples of their music found on YouTube:

Avenue L has another awesome show in the works tonight. Starting at 8:00pm, Levi the Poet will be opening for White Collar Slideshow.

I have never heard of these performers until now, but I just watched THIS YouTube video of White Collar Sideshow and I suggest you check it out. I don't know what is up with the pig mask, but it definitely looks like they know how to put on an awesome live show! HERE is their official website.

 Click HERE to learn more about Levi the Poet.

From his MySpace page:

"As a spoken-word poet from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Levi the Poet has spent the last year building up his concert reputation as one of the most honest expressions of wearing your heart on your sleeve. Reaching beyond any sort of genre limitations that “performance poetry” might hold, Levi has incorporated every vocal influence into his presentation, successfully molding each variety into a purely emotive experience, and holds tight to an unrestrained honesty within his “hold nothing back” method of examining life’s deepest questions. Through a heavily testimonial written approach and an intense slam-esque deliverance, Levi has taken an old art and stylized it as his own, creating a passionate art form which captures the relative-yet-relatable longings of the human heart."

Avenue L Coffee House has changed locations!

Avenue L has changed locations! It is now located at 1215 Sam Houston Avenue (between the Donut Wheel and the Courthouse). I have yet to see the new location, but from what I've heard, this new venue is a much larger building. However, its move closer to Downtown Huntsville means that there is less parking. Good thing that a little walking is good exercise!

Since Avenue L is strictly volunteer based, the hours of operation have yet to be determined. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, there is a Volunteer Interest Meeting on Monday, August 29th at 8:00pm. Their Open Mic Night will still most likely be on Thursdays at 8:00pm. The expected date to re-open is September 6, 2011, but that is subject to change.

If you have never been to Avenue L Coffee House, it is a non-alcoholic venue that regularly features live music (usually Indie/Folk/8bit electronic hardcore punk such as Yatagarasu), coffee, art, free Wi-Fi, and trendy people.

Good luck with your new location, Avenue L!
