Here is the scoop.

Ava, Wait has been largely off the map for the last year or more due to the focus that we have directed toward creating the best album possible in 'Lost Vegas'. With our EP (Forget the Weekend) we didn’t take the time to set ourselves up for success when we released it in 2006. Although the 3 years that we spent playing shows and promoting that release were extremely fun and fulfilling on many levels, we never really expanded out of a small market. We were young and didn’t know what the music 'industry' was about.

Fast forward to 2009 and we are 18 months into what was soon to be named 'Lost Vegas'. We went through three different producers, spent time in five different studios and said farewell to our long-time friend and bass player at this point. And we were still having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We didn't just want to make an album that was good and our friends and fans were going to enjoy. We wanted to make something that was going to change the way people thought about Ava, Wait and propel us onto a new stage and chapter in our career.

2010 brought with it a lot of positives. We relocated to Las Vegas and welcomed a new management company into our camp with Sophistic Arts. We set out to prepare ourselves to release this record while giving ourselves the best opportunity to succeed. This involved a lot of planning and strategizing. With us being spread out between Las Vegas, Saint Louis and New York, much of the work that needed to get done often required long hours in front of a computer screen.

May of 2010 saw the Completion of the album and we had a successful 2 week regional tour in August to start renewing interest. Over the Holidays we finally landed a booking agency with Forward Motion Entertainment. With all the planning done and all the pieces in play we believe that we are finally ready to set this train into motion.

We have a few shows scheduled for the end of January that we are extremely excited about. We hope to see all of our friends and fans that we have gained since our humble beginnings in the summer of 2004. We will be hitting the road in March so please be excited with us because it might not be too long before we reach that new level that we have been striving for.

Ava, Wait
