Avant Garde
Avant Garde shares it's name with at least three bands... Avant Garde (1987-1989) (later Zoom) was a progressive metal band consisting of Kevin Ridel (later of Ridel High, Peel & AM Radio) on vocals, Peter Kitts, (who would later gain worldwide fame as frontman of Weezer under his birth name of Rivers Cuomo) on vocals /guitar, Justin Fisher (later of Shufflepuck and Psoma) on bass, Bryn Mutch on percussion, and Eric Ridel/Michael Stanton (Zoom) on lead/rhythm guitar. They were based in Storrs, Connecticut until moving to Los Angeles, California in 1989.
Avant Garde is also the name of a Swedish Synthpop duo: L. Walldén & P.O. Leandersson. They have released albums in the late 90s-2000.
Another Avant Garde is the duo of Hiroshi Kim and Ai Uchida. They can be found at http://ag.mu.
Yet another Avant-Garde (notice the hyphen!) is an Italian dark wave band from Rome. The current line up is Alessio Schiavi (vocals, guitars, programming), Alessandro Conte (bass), Antonio M (guitars). Avant-Garde has two full length releases "Iron in Flesh" (2008) and "Cyanure" (2004). More information can be found at http://www.avant-garde.org.uk.
Also, let's not forget the duo Avant-Garde from 1968-69 which consisted of future game show host CHUCK WOOLERY and Elkin "Bubba" Fowler. They had a minor hit which hit #40 on the Billboard chart entitled Naturally Stoned in 1968 and followed it up with Fly With Me, which peaked at #130 on the U.S. Billboard chart in December 1968. Both moved on after their chart days were over. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
