Bio / Background
FLIGHT OF MAVIS
Frank Brown-Guitar,Vocal
Dave McElroy-Bass
Ken Buono-Drums
Produced by Al Fichera
In 1988,Flight of Mavis was three twenty year old kids who lived on the same street in a suburban Phila-
delphia town.They were friends since the second grade.They grew up on Kiss and Cheap Trick and loved the Ramones.They wrote a song about the Loch Ness Monster.They were together for less than a year and had played only a gig or two when they recorded their
first record in the summer of 1988.It was released early in 1989 on vinyl and is issued here on compact disc for the first time.The ten songs that made up that
original album were recorded in about 40 studio hours,
mostly on 'first takes'.With little experience,lots of raw
talent.and the good instincts to stay out of their own way,Flight of Mavis made this very cool little record.
↓ more ↓"This friends,is the living embodiment of
the Amerindie spirit...Today,Flight of Mavis is
my favorite band."

The record served them well.They recieved heavy rotation on many college radio stations.They made it
to number one at WEGL at the University of Auburn in Alabama.They got help booking tours from Ian Copeland's Frontier Booking Agency (REM) .They did shows with Sqeeze,the Bodeans and Uncle Tupelo.They toured with Sinead O'Connor at outdoor sheds during the height of her popularity in the summer of 1990.That little record went a long way.
"With little production beyond what's needed
to realize the songs,Flight of Mavis,the band's debut
album,glows with honest love for the whole wide
world of rock and roll."
Tom Moon
