AVAN LAVA is an American, New York based, dance pop band consisting of producer/drummer Ian Pai, producer/keyboard/guitar Le Chev, and lead singer TC Milan. Today, they’ve announced their upcoming Make It Real EP which will be released on February 24th via Atlas Chair. The label is co-founded by JD Samson (MEN, Le Tigre) and home to Baby Alpaca, The Aikiu and bottoms.

AVAN LAVA frontman TC Milan told Paper Magazine: “We know our fans come to dance and lose themselves for a night, so we do everything we can to get them to that point. We’ve built a custom light show, choreographed big dance breaks, wear matching outfits that always change show-to-show. Even when we were playing 100 cap rooms, we were hiring dancers and shooting confetti canons into the crowd — we want every show to be the best night of your life.”

Past musical collaborations have been with Ssion, Fischerspooner, Cat Power (live programming), Lemonade, Frankie Rose (producer). To strut your stuff on your own catwalk listen to their single “Last Night” below.
