Bio
fabulous bird is guided by the spirit of Hermon di Giovanno, Peter's uncle. Inspired by Hermon's wisdom and creativity, Peter chose to take the road less traveled, ditch his career in film making, and do what he loves to do most, entertain. HERE"S WHAT OPTICAL ATLAS HAD TO SAY: I've written about Fabulous Bird here before; Peter Alvanos' project caught our attention when he played with the R.E.M.-covering, E6 supergroup The Observatory and began to record with Bill Doss. Now Doss has joined his lineup, and his latest record is almost complete. Alvanos has a dare with Flagpole that he can play 200 shows in Athens this year. He seems to be holding up his end by playing shows at Mama's Boy every Wednesday morning at 7:30 AM. (What better way to cope with that hangover and the ringing in your ears?) Here's a recent live performance at the Morton Theatre from August 14, where Peter is joined onstage with Doss, Ryan and Matt Lewis, and Charlie Estes (Dark Meat). Also listen to "O'Kate" on the band's MySpace page…good song................Try the ..BEST.. ..MySpace Editor.. and ..MySpace Backgrounds.. at ..MySpace.... Toolbox..!.. .. .. .. .. Here's what Ballard Lesemann (The Charleston City Paper) had to say: "606 Mix" Dig that snare drum syncopation … dig that cymbal wash … dig those percussive guitar chords … dig the arpegiation during the verses … and how about the hollering of "606! 606!" during the choruses, And how about that hard-plucked, string-strangling solo at the two-minute mark. Man there hasn't been such a groovy rock tune with "six" in the title since Chuck Berry's rendition of "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66" … or maybe "68 Guns" by The Alarm … or perhaps "96 Tears" by ? & The Mysterians. Alvanos sounds like a singer who sings what he means and means what he sings. By brain is hanging upside down from it all. —TBL -
