Rarae Avis

Rarae Avis

Rarae Avis is an indie rock group that formed in Blacksburg, Virginia in the summer of 2002. Hailing from predominantly metal and punk backgrounds, the band formed with the intention of abandoning those roots.

They awed the full house at their debut first show, and then took a two-month hiatus to prepare and finish recording their debut album. Returning from the studio with a full length, Rarae Avis played their album release show in January of 2003. In the following spring, they played several house and venue shows, as well as live on Blacksburg's college radio station, and several out of town dates.

The album (which is self titled) was made available independently through the band's efforts, however they soon sought a record label for distribution and support. During the spring of 2003, the band caught the attention of several independent record labels, and eventually signed with Hound Records. The album was remixed, and the artwork redone for the release in early May 2003.
