Park Ave. (band)
Park Ave. was an indie pop band that started in January 1996 in Omaha, Nebraska. The band lasted only two and a half years, but still retains a substantial fanbase. During their short time together, Park Ave. (named after an actual street in their hometown of Omaha, Nebraska) received rave reviews for their brand of indie pop music. The band was born out of members' desire to write pop, almost bubblegum pop, music. None of the members could play their respective musical instruments prior to forming the band. Conor Oberst had been playing guitar since a very young age, yet played drums in the band. Clark Baechle had played drums previously, but played guitar for Park Ave. Park Ave. performed about 10-15 times during its existence. When Jamie moved to London to work in art, the band broke up, hence the name of their 1999 album—''When Jaime Went to London...We Broke Up''. Before Pressnall went to London, they recorded songs on a 4-track as a record for themselves. The recordin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
