Formed "over some silverware and a tablecloth”, Avalon Landing played

its first show, as a trio, on January 15th 2011 at The Bunkhouse

Saloon in Las Vegas, Nevada. The line-up consisted of piano/vocalist

Josh Rabenold, guitar/vocalist Mike Vargovich, and guitar/vocalist

Clayton Cobb. Shortly thereafter, drummer (and yes, vocalist) Ryan

Martin was added and the band recorded a self-produced demo of four

original songs in their hometown of Buffalo, New York.

Returning to Las Vegas in March, Avalon Landing was featured twice on

the Neon Reverb Music Festival at prominent local venues The Griffin

and Beauty Bar. In May, Josh and Mike were seen performing as a duo at

the 18b Music Festival in Las Vegas. The summer of 2011 saw the band

officially moving out to the “Entertainment Capital of the World”

where they have been seen playing at such venues as House of Blues,

The Palms, M Resort, and Hard Rock Cafe!
