Downtown Brew and Numbskull Productions are excited to present one of the most exciting live acts in music to the DTB stage, Mickey Avalon with Beardo and Kesha set to open.
Mickey Avalon
He likes to play soccer and likes salad.
That sums up the eclectic life and music of underground sensation Mickey Avalon. You see, you never really know what to expect when he steps onto the stage and that is sure to hold true for his Saturday night show at Downtown Brew.
Upon moving to Los Angeles, he was befriended by ex-MTV VJ Simon Rex (aka Dirt Nasty) who encouraged Avalon to rap and collaborated with him. The two began passing out demos to Hollywood clubs and soon developed a following among fans of the Los Angeles nightclub scene. Mickey also attended college at Webster University in St. Louis, MO for a brief time before he signed with Interscope Records.
In recent years Avalon toured internationally, appeared on an episode of The Simple Life, and appeared in a Boost Mobile commercial with Young Jeezy and Jermaine Dupri. He is currently working with Travis Barker of +44 on his new album.
Avalon's song "My Dick" (also featuring Dirt Nasty and Andre Legacy) was featured in the 2008 movie Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay.
His debut self-titled solo album was released Nov. 7, 2006 on Interscope/Shoot to Kill Records in association with MySpace Records. Avalon blends dark, lewd, and humorous hooks with heavy beats that keep the crowd singing and the fists pumping.
