City Pages: Over the Weekend

The Triple Rock was bustling for the Aviette CD release party Saturday night. The show was a celebration for their new disc The Way We Met, a 24 minute exploration of moody break-up pop (see also: Pat O'Brien's review of the album), and Aviette played the disc in its entirety in addition to a couple of old and new tunes.

Joined by Draw Fire Records labelmate Sam Keenan on guitar, Aviette played with an intensity that I had yet to see from the group: the sound was mixed incredibly well and the instruments blended together subtly, leaving plenty of room for lead singer Holly Munoz's warm soprano nuances to float atop the echoing noise. Highlights of the set included the title track of the new album, "The Way We Met," which might possibly be the saddest song about a rock chick's broken heart ever written ("After meeting at a show/Would there be any doubt?" Munoz sighs), and a cover of the James song "Laid."
