Mavis Drive, a 4 member Rock Band from Toronto, Canada is releasing their first full length CD June 1, 2007 entitled ‘Lost in the Shuffle.’ Mavis Drive will be holding a Free CD Release Party on June 1, 2007 in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada at Casey’s Bar & Grill at 11 Colossus Dr. Party starts at 9 PM with Mavis Drive live at 10 PM.
Mavis Drive recently won 3rd place in 97.7 HtzFM Rocksearch 2007. They are quickly growing in popularity and have developed a fan base in Toronto. Ready to hit the world with their new CD, the band recently traveled to Los Angeles, CA to record with Mike K (a studio-guitar player and producer who worked with Edwin, J. Englishman, Nelly Furtado, and others as well as composing for several Network TV shows) to produce their latest CD.
The current line-up of Mavis Drive is Mass Chiantia (Lead Vocals), Mike Perfetti(Drums/Background Vocals), and brothers – Peter Macukic (Guitar/Background Vocals), and Chris Macukic (Bass) has been together since the summer of 2002. In that same year they recorded their first EP consisting of 6 songs with John Pacheco. In the following year that same 6 song EP got them attention from singer/songwriter Raine Maida of the established Canadian act Our Lady Peace. They opened for Our Lady Peace in 2003. The band also performed with Big Collapse. By 2005, Mavis Drive have written many songs which is when they started working with Mike K which lead them recording their current album.
Mavis Drive is currently unsigned and is co-managed by Chris Free and Susie Hu of Freebird Management. Freebird Management is currently shopping them around to record labels and is currently booking gigs and for film/TV soundtracks.
