Hailing from Chicago - Avagami began writing music in 2005 after meeting through a rather peculiar Craigslist posting. Eric (vocals, saxophone, electronics, see: unusual drawings) wasn’t quite what Matt (drums, electronics, see: Atombombpocketknife, The Reputation) was expecting but a musical connection was made none the less. Both were looking to push the pop envelope, and incorporate improvisational techniques into a song structure. Their music combines elements of Prog, New Wave, Noise, and Krautrock, as well as Burlesque, Lounge, and Psychotherapy (Gestalt). Metagami marks Avagami’s debut release on Chicago’s Lens Records. Avagami keep themselves busy gigging in and around Chicago and plans are in the works for a Midwest tour in the Fall.
