Avenue D was a Punk Rock Booty Bass Rap group featuring best friends Debbie D. + Daphne D. from 2001-2007. They started the band as a joke to lighten the mood of a post 9-11 NYC. Originally from Miami, they fused musical influences (from 2 Live Crew to Dolly Parton to CRASS) to produce an array of songs with the fun of 80’s camp, hard-hitting beats, and a little "Girls Gone Wild.” Their live shows were wild and memorable. The group gained global recognition thanks to the 2001 Electroclash movement. Avenue D collaborated with a plethora of musical wunderkinds like Larry Tee, Cazwell, the Lady Tigra (from L’Trimm), and ye olde pop culture icon himself, Boy George. They performed with superstars like the Scissor Sisters, and played to sweaty masses at historic NYC venues like CBGB's, the Cock, Don Hill's, Deitch, the Warsaw and Luxx. The classy lassies were featured (in print!) in VICE, Paper, k48, Time Out New York, The Face, and The New York Times. They played to packed clubs across the USA, (including Hawaii) and mesmerized audiences in Japan, Brazil, London, Mexico, Amsterdam, Ibiza, Berlin, Serbia, and more. The D’s conquered the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and rocked a gay marriage rights rally in Washington D.C. hosted by Henry Rollins. Then, like some brilliant supernova, Avenue D exploded into oblivion. Over the course of their career, they self-released six albums and one DVD and appeared on many compilations and remix albums. #avenued4eva www.avenued.com
