Avatar share ‚Legend Of Avatar Country: A Metal Odyssey’

March 5, 2020

In late 2018 Avatar started a Kickstarter Campaign to finance the making of an extended documentary on their latest record ‘The Legend Of The King’. At the time that we’re writing this, we have released music videos for ’A Statue of the King’, ’the King Wants You’ and ’the King Welcomes You to Avatar Country’.

But we want more and believe you do too. We are not a normal band. Avatar Country is not a normal album. We want to tell the full story and we want You to help us make this a reality. Together with You, we want to bring AVATAR COUNTRY to the screen!  Avatar Country will be a featurette (longer that a short movie but shorter than the Godfather) based on the music of the album of the same name.

Station to Station: a 4000-mile enchanted journey into our past and our future. By Patrick O’Heffernan

August 23, 2015

    (Santa Monica). This week’s New York Times Magazine features a cover story on the shift of art to the digital future as millennials trade in CD’s and records for downloads, YouTube videos for television and Garage Band for the recording studio.  Venice-based artist and film and performance director Doug Aiken is no stranger to the latest technologies and online communities of creation, but he chose a distinctly 19th century platform, a passenger train, for his stunning new film, Station to Station, now playing at the NuArt, in Santa Monica California and hopefully, soon nationwide. Actually, Station to Station is much more than a film – it is a living project that uses a 23-day train trip across the US to explore modern creativity, both on the train by an ever changing group of visual and musical artists, and in “happenings” at stops along the way ranging from big cities to tiny hamlets.  On board the train were famed musicians like Jackson Brown, Patti Smith, Beck, and local artists and bands who jumped on [Read More]

What Happened Miss Simone nails the tragic life and changing times of Nina Simone. Review by Patrick O’Heffernan

June 26, 2015

  Oscar-nominated director Liz Garbus has a talent for putting viewers inside the heads and lives of celebrities like no one else.  She has done it with Marilyn Monroe and Bobby Fischer, and now she has done it with the singer/activist Nina Simone. Garbus has produced a spellbinding documentary film that goes far beyond the genre “documentary” by editing together new and existing footage from the tumultuous life of this 50’s 60’s “Queen of Soul”.  The result is a masterpiece of both documentary film making and storytelling.   There is music, more than 25 songs and a live clip of Simone at the 1978 Montreux Festival, footage that documented the  launch of her career and encapsulated the complexity of her life. However this is not a concert film or even a music film;  it is the story of the woman who began life as Eunice Waymon from Tryon New Jersey, changed her name to Nina –  Spanish for little girl – Simone – after the actress Simone Signoret – in order to hide her piano [Read More]
