Pink Houses
Avail - Dixie
#DailyCover: Avail — “Pink Houses” from the album “Dixie” (originally by John Cougar Mellencamp)
Avail’s a punk/hardcore band from Richmond, VA. I remember the first time I saw them play, it was on a Wednesday night at this place called the PWAC on Long Island in 1996. It was one of those experiences that stays with you, and at 15, it definitely helped cement my love of the music, the shows, the scene, the people, the ideas, etc. I’ve seen Avail at least a dozen times, probably more, over the years and they’ve always been amazing. I hope they’ve not called it quits forever.
I’m not much for that Cougar fella, but Avail’s version makes me want to drive around really fast and have conversations with strangers.
