Averkiou

It’s hard not call Averkiou a shoegaze band. Their obsession with ethereal vocals and foot pedals is obvious in every track, but they also explore stranger, murkier waters in their premiere album “Throwing Sparks”. The album was difficult for the band to record, as their studio experience left them frustrated. Many band members quit because of the tumultuous affair. But after setting up a studio in their collective basement, Averkiou managed to birth a damn fine record and a career.

Averkiou will be playing FEST 8 in Gainsville, Florida this upcoming Halloween.
