After years of constant failed attempts to form a group of musicians that are cohesive in talent and friendship, LEONARDO MENDOZA (rhythm guitarist and male vocalist) finally found the right members to form the band. Beginning with a RAVI KURANI, a drummer he met while pledging for a fraternity at the University of California of Riverside called Alpha Phi Omega. With a shared high school background in the music department, song writing between the duo came with no difficulty. The duo became a trio when they invited ARCHIE LASALLE to play bass, since he worked with him before in another band called "The Scene Remains," and is currently working side by side for the Life Teen Band at St. Christophers Parish Church. After several practices as a trio, all three had an idea of changing the alternative rock concept with the stereotypical guy singer, and adding a female r&b and pop singer named 'CHELLE FORONDA to be the leading lady. This addition made a unique duet component to the group that would allow more versatility with the song-writing. Giving them the possibility to compose songs that related towards the males, the females, both, and the conflicts that arise between the two. Therefore, the name Central Avenue (which exists in most cities in America) was chosen to signify the bands ability to relate to everyone. Lastly, to complete the group a lead guitarist was required fulfill the sound they wanted, so after trying numerous guitarists, JON SMITH (yes the same name of the one that was saved by Pocahontas) was chosen because of his enthusiasm for the songs that Central Avenue already rehearsed, his own song-writing abilities, and his ability to add some up-tempo songs with his hard rock, yet sometimes smooth guitar riffs. Now that Central Avenue is complete, they are ready to take on the world with radio friendly songs and a presence on stage that cannot be ignored.
