About

A NOTE FROM THE AVENGERS: While it's flattering to have a lot of Myspace friends, we'd like to mention that we're not interested in having any racist, sexist, fascist or homophobic friends. If you consider yourself one of these please DO NOT send a friend request. Also anyone who voted for Bush can just take their Avengers CDs and... cash them in at the used record store, right now. Everyone has a right to their beliefs and everyone has a right to choose their friends. Nuff said, here's the bio:

From June of 1977 to June of 1979, The Avengers played just over 100 shows, appearing with the Sex Pistols at Winterland that group's legendary last show, recording with Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and headlining dates with the X, the Go-Go's, and the Dead Kennedys. During their brief existence they released one 3-song 7 EP on Dangerhouse Records. A few months after they broke up the 4-song 12 EP came out on White Noise. In 1983 band members gathered together various recordings and put out a full length self-titled LP (the pink album) As new generations of music fans discover the band, a never ending demand for recordings has spawned many bootlegs and two official releases, both collections of live and studio recordings, Died For Your Sins on Lookout! Records, in 1999; and American In Me CD on DBKWorks. [Find out how to get these at the official website www.penelope.net]

... ... ... Since 2004, vocalist/lyricist Penelope Houston has joined with original guitarist Greg Ingraham to bring the Avengers back to life, completing the line-up with bassist Joel Reader and drummer Luis Illades. The new group is called the Avengers and sometimes the scAvengers, and is playing a few select shows in Europe and America. More info on shows etc.
