Shindig Avenue…we try to cultivate a party atmosphere, and the word "Shindig" just kinda stuck.

SHINDIG AVENUE

I play guitar, John Wheatley is on bass, and Ryan Turi is on drums. We all sing.

ATP

So who's in the band and what instruments do you each play?

SHINDIG AVENUE

We have punk, rock, and ska influences…but I think we have a little different take on the punk/ska sound than most bands.

ATP

How would you describe your sound. What makes you unique?

SHINDIG AVENUE

We have punk, rock, and ska influences…but I think we have a little different take on the punk/ska sound than most bands.

ATP

What bands have influenced each of you?

SHINDIG AVENUE

It's hard to say, because we all have our own influences, but I would lean towards Rancid, Sublime, AFI, and maybe a little Against Me as well.

Tell Us About Your Dream Show, who you'd like to play with and where?

I can't speak for Jon and Ryan, but personally, I would love to play a packed show at The Roxy or Viper room with Gaslight Anthem, and The Menzingers.

Do you have a street team and how can you join?

SHINDIG AVENUE

Right now, we do not, but check out website for future reference!

Do you have a record label and if not are you looking for one?

SHINDIG AVENUE

We are unsigned, but if the right fit presents itself, that would be great.

To play as often as we can, get our songs recorded, and get our music into as many ears as possibly

Finally, do have any words on what Arm The Pit means to you?

SHINDIG AVENUE

Arm the Pit gives us hope that there are still people out there who listen to and support real, homegrown music. Keep up the good work and rock on!
