MATT AVERY-SCARLET 1992-ICE CREAM MAN

SEE MATT AVERY AT HIS FACEBOOK FANPAGE AND mattavery.com. REVIEW BY GILLAN EBERT-"BILLED AS A 10 YEAR REUNION AT THE AL ROSA VILLA, SINCLAIR RD. COLUMBUS, OHIO, THERE WERE A SEVERAL HUNDRED IN ATTENDANCE, THOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE IT ON THIS VID. THIS SHOWCASES LEAD SINGER MATT AVERY, FRESH BACK TO OHIO HOME AFTER SEVERAL YEARS IN LOS ANGELES. FULL OF PISS AND VINEGAR, AND WACKED OUT LIKE A HYPER ACTIVE 10 YEAR OLD AFTER A BOWL OF SUGAR SMACKS. MAKE NOTE THAT THIS LINE-UP WAS ABSENT GUITARIST, MICHAEL FARRELL, WHO WAS STILL IN LOS ANGELES, AND ATTENDING VIDAL SASOON HAIR INSTITUTE IN HOLLYWOOD. IN MICHAEL'S PLACE ONSTAGE, DOING A BANG UP JOB (WITH ONLY ONE REHEARSAL!), LONG TIME FRIEND FROM HEATH HIGH SCHOOL (AND REPORTEDLY ONE OF MATT AVERY'S ORIGINAL LOCAL ROCK HEROS), MR. PAUL SHAMMELL, WHO LATER BECAME AN INTEGRAL MEMBER OF COLUMBUS, OHIO BAND, REAGANOMICS. SCARLET ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER, EVAN BAISDEN WAS A PART OF THIS SHOW, THOUGH OFFSTAGE TO LET MATT SHINE..OR TO SET A MANNEQUIN ON FIRE...OR SOMETHING. STALWART BASSIST JOHN BELLEPERCHE EN FORCE ADDING TO THAT CHEMISTRY ONLY THE WAY HE COULD! BEATING THE SKINS IN BACK , NOT SECOND DRUMMER TOMMY JOHNSON, BUT ORIGINAL DRUMMER, PAULY MINSTERMAN. THERE FROM THE BEGINNING...LAYING IT DOWN. THOUGH THE BAND (SUPPOSEDLY) SAID ITS LAST GOODBYE AT A 2005 REUNION, LATELY FANS HAVE STARTED BLOGGING AND RE-DISCOVERING SCARLET, IN ALL IT'S POP-NESS, GLAM, AND CAMP. AND THERE IS TALK OF ANOTHER REUNION. WHAT ELSE DO THEY HAVE TO DO? HEY, THEY MAY NOT HAVE GONE DOWN IN MUSICAL HISTORY, BUT CERTAIN MEMBERS WENT DOWN ON SOMETHING..SOMEONE? YOU MAY ORDER THE ORIGINAL ALBUMS (SOME VINYL!) AT mattavery.com."
