Notes
Aviary orginally formed back in the 1970's and became a powerhouse of progressive rock. With interest from several top labels, YES manager Brian Lane picked up the band and they signed with Epic-CBS Records to record their 1st self-titled CD originally released in 1979. With no major label backing, and with management mishaps, the band went on to record a second (as of yet unreleased) album. After much turbulence, the band broke up and the members went their seperate ways. Vocalist/songwriter/pianist, Brad Love, continued recording, and released a solo album on MCA Records, 'Colours',and another release on Song Haus Records (Available here on CD Baby!)'Through Another Door'. Keyboardist Paul Madden went on to record several Christian CD's, while guitarist, Toby Bowen went on to performing and recording with quite a few LA bands. The Epic Records album was resurrected by Dane Spencer of Song Haus Music in the year of 2001. Along with Sony Special Products the album was remastered and released on CD in all it's glory. Progressive fans came out of the woodwork in awe of this CD release. In what was first throught to be 'one of the few that slipped through the cracks' is experiencing a new life with continuous and consistant sales. Many new fans have joined the band wagon of this long known secret. So many indeed, that the band dug into their vault of recordings and have put together a new CD titled, 'Ambition'. Although these songs were written and recorded in the late 1970's, they sound like they were recorded just yesterday. The success of these 2 CD's have brought the band back together to discuss the strong possibilities of a few select shows to be played live, presenting this astounding act to it's public in all of their glory. Aviary is back....let the songs begin........
