Purdue Avenue

Purdue Avenue, formed in late December of 2008, is an Alternative SoCal rock band based in LA whose music contains the raw energy of a young Weezer and Sublime. The band was first noticed by – and asked to open for – Moshav, an accomplished LA rock band that has been touring the world for over 10 years. After their impressive first gig, Purdue Avenue got such rave reviews that the talented ensemble of young musicians decided to pursue music further and continue to gig around. For the past three years they’ve been getting more impressive with each show, and they’ve already accomplished playing a show at STAPLESCenter. With two sets of brothers (Joe & Mendy Shallman, Shmush & Cobe Schwartz) along side drummer Yossi Lichy and bassist Sean Rudes, this band has an amazing ability to lock you in and not let go until the show’s over.
