ON THE RADAR BOYCE AVENUE


HOT OFF THE HEELS of a support slot under One Direction at their sold out UK/Ireland shows - plus a mammoth 18-month worldwide tour of their own - Florida’s Boyce Avenue are back on the road to play their biggest European head- line shows to date. The three Manzano brothers


have gone from playing their first UK gigs in mid-2009 to a 13-date headline academies stint this year. Speaking to Music Week, the eld- est of the trio, Daniel said: “We’re pretty happy that in the course of what for most bands would be one album cycle, we’ve gone from playing for 400 people in


London to what is looking like it will be a sold out show at the Hammersmith Apollo.” “Coming to London is going to be


a really special moment for us, just playing a packed out successful show at an iconic venue like that.” The siblings first came together


as a band in 2004 when Alejandro (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Fabian (guitar, vocals), and Daniel (bass, percussion, vocals) reconnected after Daniel graduated from Harvard Law School. They started writing music and


performing at local shows. By 2007 they were posting live videos on YouTube of their own songs as


HE SAID / SHE SAID “ You could never


invalidate the power of Born This Way. I don’t want to be your fucking queen, I want to be your friend


Lady Gaga tellingly plays to the crowd in New Zealand - after Madonna covered-slash-mocked her song Born This Way in Israel last month

“Traditionally people look at met- rics of chart success and I guess its kind of if that doesn’t happen, we’re just happy continuing to play for our fans and to put music out for them, they’ve been very good to us - we’ve been able to travel and see the world and quit our day jobs.”
