Avalanche...boogie-rock from Melbourne..self-titled album from 1976


Avalanche were a Melbourne based boogie-rock band that released only one album and had a short life span from 1976 to 1977. With the break-up of The Bootleg Family Band in November 1975, Tony Naylor, Geoff Cox and Clive Harrison recruited Adrian Campbell and began gigging as Avalanche in early 1976. The band's catchy boogie/pop/rock sound was displayed on the singles 'Sweet Baby Brown Eyes' (July 1976), 'Landslide' (October 1976) and 'Good For Me Good For You' (March 1977), and on their self-titled album in September 1976.

The album was released on the Bootleg label. Their line up changed a few times and their most known member was drummer Geoff Cox who went on to a career in television.
