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

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

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.

And, this is not music. ...so this is music.
It is not feelings either.
It is silence dedicated by the person who loves all stories.
Love for You to listen to the one that it is not likely to listen.
