Swedish female fronted rock band - Welcome!! embe

About Me

Hi all!
We have now found our singer. We will introduce her later on!
Let me tell ya.. This girl rocks!
Stay tuned for more information!
Our history:
ALYSON AVENUE was formed in 1989 by a couple of friends.
Anette Blyckert did a great job on a demo recording and soon after she became a permanent member. Since then we have often been compared to bands like HEART & ROBIN BECK.
We played together for about 10 years and really had alot of fun. A lot of gigs and studio sessions took place during these years.
In 1999, we finally sent a demo to the press and gained a huge feedback. With a little help from the Belgian melodic rock orientated magazine "Rock Report", we found the right contacts to some labels.
Main song-writer and keyboard player Niclas Olsson wrote 4 new songs which finally resulted in a record deal with AOR Heaven.
The debut album "Presence Of Mind" was released in November 2000 and the interest and reviews were far beyond our expectations - including an 93/ 100 rating in Japanese magazine Burrn! which was followed by massive sales.
The next album "Omega" came in 2003, which also received good reviews in the media.
Two years later we decided to put things aside to concentrate on other projects.
E.g. Niclas and Thomas released an album with Second Heat.
This album is a masterpiece... check it out...

In 2007 Anette became a member of Nightwish.
Amazing news about an amazing girl.
We are truly happy, proud and thrilled about it.

In 2008 we decided to continue with Alyson Avenue.
