ANAVAN may have been birthed from the scene surrounding L.A.’s legendary institution, The Smell, but it’s time for these three synth-punkers to leave the nest and venture out into the big, wide world. In other words, they’re going on tour.

The band will play one show in California on Saturday, before crossing the Atlantic later this month to make a big boom around Europe with their punk-meets-pop arsenal of songs. While they’re out and about, Slanty Shanty records will release the band’s sophomore album, Cover Story, on November 11. An album release party is set for October 24, appropriately at The Smell in Los Angeles.
