Bio

Old Avenue has been causing a stir since the summer months when their performance momentum picked up throughout the triangle area. Immediately after adding the final member to their current lineup, Old Avenue performed as the headlining band for STRUT ’09 at the convention center. Shortly after they performed at Duke University in front of 1,500 students, and at the Midtown Music series at North Hills with the Embers to a crowd of 10,000.These performances led to repeat and additional bookings throughout the triangle, and have kept this eager band busy for months. With a sound that can only be described as funky, jazzy, infectious grooves that will make you dance, with melodies that were meant for sing alongs, Old Avenue is the essence of the upbeat happy tunes we’ve all been missing. As a four piece band with a great back story that links all members back to Cardinal Gibbons High School, each member will tell you that they feel fate brought them together. Equally and independently amazing musicians, with talent well beyond their years, Old Avenue is bound to make waves with the release of this new album. ‘Knockin’ on Doors’ is a refreshing break from the emotional angst that our youthful music lovers have been buried in for years. The upbeat, catchy tunes that pour from the piano keys and sing through the sound of the saxophone, immediately catch onlookers off guard. Old Avenue’s music projects an “It’s ok to smile.it’s even ok to dance” attitude.

Old Avenue is: Mark Cloos – vocals/guitar, Jason Hazinski – sax, Cameron Conklin – bass, Sean Steigerwald – percussion.

A word of caution: If you listen to Old Avenue, its songs will stick with you. But unlike other annoying pop songs that get stuck in your head, the light, playful melodies of Old Avenue will make you bop your head and smile every time you hum them. Songs like “Miss Summertime” and “Hey There” from its new album “Knockin’ On Doors” showcase crisp, clear guitar riffs that shine through a thickly blended rhythm section, with accents from saxophonist Jason Hazinski that are sure to catch your attention. Now, that’s the perfect cure for the winter blues. .. -Go!.. your guide to entertainment www.youtube.com/OldAvenue09

Caught thinking

mirellalippi — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 19:52:32 +0000

you must be thinking that I get myself in this state of reflection too often and figure out that I never stop thinking and worrying about my life and my Plans for my future! Well if you’ve been reading this blog you know that mine are unusual dreams and plans and really hard to achieve so give me a break will ya?! It’s really hard for me not to worry… So if every post of mine is a ” caught thinking” is cause I do that a lot! And you are getting to know the real me! Cause it fills my soul when I hear songs about flying away and being bigger then I am and making my dreams come true! It makes me lose my breath and l fill me with such a deep emotion that I feel the tears trying to roll down my eyes! It’s such a thrill the whole experience and the pain that comes with it it’s part of something bigger so I have to hold on ! You can see that I don’t make much sense when I talk about that right?! Lol adrenalin rushing through me it’s so intense that I get my feet off the floor! I can’t wait to be everything I ever dreamed!!

Reflect

mirellalippi — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 21:06:54 +0000

Been stuck with stuff in my head a lot about that doubt I wrote on the previous post… My life is spinning and I feel like I’ve stopped… I have no idea what comes next and that is really scarry …. Plus I do have stuff going on but are things that just mess it up a bit more my current situation so I’m inclined to stop thinking about everything else and just go on doing what I think is ok without considering the future since I have nothing figured out!!

So I’m at my uncles house for new years and on exactly midnight the power goes off in the building! And me, symbolic like I am… I start thinking bout the year that is approaching and the possibilities and I define the power going down as my thought of how this year is going to be… Im starting this year in the dark!Graduated, full of uncertainty and doubts about my future and how I’m going to try to figure it all out since I’m going for new experiences and things I fear in order to become the person I want to be!

On the road to safe
I kinda tripped along the way
It just seemed like a nasty hassle
The path was greener on the one less traveled
That’s where I remained
People so high they think
I can’t hear the whispers
I can see it falling off their face
Their trying to shoot down my plane of grace
It seems like it’s already hard enough

But the paint on me is beginning to dry
And it’s not what I wanted to be
The weight on me
Is Hanging on to a weary angel

So tell me what it is about me
Where did everybody go without me
So, I like to fantasize
And watch the sunrise like it’s a big surprise
Life moves and I stopped to taste it

I drank it up till it left me wasted
But my rains have bled
A softer red
Oh you should see the world inside my head

You can shackle me away
And try to wrap around my dreamer
I feel better when I paint my days
With purple seas
And left out grays
Strange is just a different point of view

But the paint on me is starting to dry
And it’s not what I wanted to be
The weight on me
Is holding onto a weary angel
[Chorus]

I feel better when I paint my days
With purple seas
And left out grays
Strange is just a different point of view

But the pain on me is beginning to dry
And it’s not what I want it to be
So wait on me
Wait on me

From: http://www.musicbabylon.com
This kind of love makes me feel ten feet tall
It makes all my problems fall
This kind of trust helps me to hold the line
I’ll be there everytime

This kind of love it’s what I dreamed about
Yeah, it fills me up
Baby it leaves no doubt
This kind of love it’s why I’m standing here
It’s something that we can share
I can’t get enough of this kind of love

This kind of hope is what I try to find
And now I can’t deny I believe
This kind of faith is so unshakeable
It’s unmistakable
It’s bigger than me, yeah

Your love can move a mountian
It makes my world go round
It’s always there to guide me
I’m so lucky that I found

This kind of love it’s what I dreamed about
Yeah, it fills me up
Well baby it leaves no doubt
This kind of love it’s why I’m standing here
It’s something that we can share
I can’t get enough of this kind of love
This kind of love

Oh I miss you
I miss being overwhelmed by you
And I need rescue
I think I’m fading away

But I keep thinking
That you’ll wake me up with a whisper in my ear
I keep hoping
That you’ll sneak in my room

So I wait
And I wait
And I run old scenes through my tired head
of the days that we laid by the school and said forever
Was that the best I’ll ever be?

Oh I miss you
I miss talking all night long with you yeah
And I need this to
find a way to your home

Oh, my love
Can you hear me?
Have I been hoping loud enough?
Wishing hard enough?
Can you see me
when I’m asleep all alone
alone?

So I wait
And I wait
And I run myself in the same old circles
I sit
and I stare
and I run old scenes through my tired head
of the days that we laid by the school and said forever
Was that the best I’ll ever be?

I can’t keep my hands from shaking
I’m stumbling through the wreakage again
But you’re gone
So I wait
And I wait
And I run myself in the same old circles
I sit
and I stare
And I run old scenes through my tired head
of the days that we laid on our backs and said forever
Oh was that the best I’ll ever be?
Was that the best I’ll ever be?
Oh was that the best I’ll ever be?

Lyrics by me!

Woke up today
Remembering you are gone
All that I did to make sure I would forget you
Is now undone
And I talk to you and try not to cry
But every time I think of how we said goodbye
I feel like I could die
Cause the simple thought of you
Makes my heart race
And doesn’t matter what I do or who I see
No one can replace
The kisses you used to give
The hugs and how caring you used to be
You made me feel so constantly happy
So I dream that you are coming back to make me a surprise
The world would stop cause I can’t breathe when I see your eyes
But then I get back to reality and my heart is squeezed so tight
I wish I could go back in time
I wish I could go back and make it right
Since I miss you all the time
Cause the simple thought of you
Makes my heart race
And doesn’t matter what I do or who I see
No one can replace
The kisses you used to give
The hugs and how caring you used to be
You made me feel so constantly happy

Thinking

mirellalippi — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 21:26:41 +0000

I’ve been thinking bout my obsession for supernatural and now that is ending my dvds i said on twitter that i was needing to jump back to twilight books cause i need the feeling… what is that feeling you may ask…?! Well…. Life is the way it is and you play along and do what you are supposed to do and you get stuck in a routine and thats that… I think that since my life got really boring and despite the plans i have i am today a person without hope and so i am hollow… I am trying to get my faith and hope back im turning to religion to help me out but mean while i look for fantasy… Cause i have to be in a world that i dont know what is going
to happen next and that true love exists and that having extreme feelings for someone is something beautiful and possible since its been a while that ive been numb for this things and i have become a bit cold and thats not me.. I Want To Feel!!! I really do… I need it!! I want so bad to have someone so in love with me that they could die for me and that i feel the same for him… I need to be able to know that there are something bigger than us and our sad feelings and poor attitudes … I need to believe in something better so i wont feel dead while i am still alive!
