Avalanche Brakedown, which is more commonly known as AB., is
a hard rock band from Mangalore (based in India). Currently, we consist of 6
members , all who had been associated with various other line-ups, prior to
AB!!
Before we introduce u to the lineup of AB , Let's talk about
the way AB was formed!! In the early 2014 (somewhere in Jan), Rens & Clyde
met each other at a Wedding gig . No Sooner , both decided that they should
merge up & form a crazy line up , & emerge in the rock field . Just
then a mutual friend of Rens & Clyde was the drummer , Ashwin , who
willingly added his feather to the AB's hat . There was an ardent need for a
killer Bassist . Now , Rens's college mate Rolan , had left the killer line up,
as the Bassman of DVE!! Taking advantage of this , Rens invited Rolan to join
AB!! Lastly , Dylon , the ex - Lead Guitarist of the then band , DROPSY ,was
called over by the band , the reason being , his utmost soloing pattern and
killer improvisation boosts the tone of the band!!
First, there's Ashwin Xavier Sequeira, who plays drums and
other auxiliary percussion. Ashwin is considered by many ,to be one of the
experienced & best drummers of his age (around here, at least). Wherever he
plays, compliments and praise follow. His constantly growing kit grants him the
ability to lay down nearly any beat imaginable. Ashwin has been with the band
since it was formed, and to this day continues to be a major entity of the
band. He has also been a part of the Bands viz. Casablanca , Fossilz , False
Alarm etc.
Then, there's Dylon Dsouza , the lead guitarist. He has been
with AB since it started to really take off, with his ESP ltd guitar and his
insane soloing skills.His hard rock soloing style leaves the crowd mesmerized !!!
Renston Fernandes is the frontman of AB. He is the lead
vocalist for the band. He is the primary songwriter, and will gladly entertain
anyone who wishes it. The main concept of the formation of AB was basically
initiated by Rens!! He is also the frontman for the bands Casablanca , Duology
!!
Then , there's our riff master Clyde Lobo. An amazing
guitarist with utmost feel!!! His Mark Knopler style of finger picking
techniques, Marty Freidman style of soloing adds a professional touch to AB's
tone. He even is the Backing Vocalist of the band! He is also the Lead
Guitarist of the Band Milestone , Band L.M.N.O.P.E !!
Jackson Noronha , a sensational Pianist was later called
over by the band in the late September 2014, to add finesse to the tone of AB .
Jackson A.k.a Jack whos magical fingers and crazy chord work boosts the entire
feel of the music that's been rendered by AB!! He also serves as the Backing
Vocalist of the Band!! Hes been a part of various line ups , prior to AB , viz.
Thermal Shockwave , Stringfisher Premium , LSD( LOVE , SAX n DRUMS), BAND
LMNOPE , Band Milestone etc !!
Rolan Ashley Carlo is the final piece of the puzzle. An
experienced Bassist, Rolan is known for his thick-as-fuck bass tone, driving
rhythms, and unsightly attitude towards the audience during performances,
adding a raw edge to AB's refined sound. Rolan has even been a part of various
tight line ups including DVE & ALTERED PERCEPTION!!!
