Another Avant Garde is the duo of Hiroshi Kim and Ai Uchida. They can be found at http://ag.mu.
Yet another Avant-Garde (notice the hyphen!) is an Italian dark wave band from Rome. The current line up is Alessio Schiavi (vocals, guitars, programming), Alessandro Conte (bass), Antonio M (guitars). Avant-Garde has two full length releases "Iron in Flesh" (2008) and "Cyanure" (2004). More information can be found at http://www.avant-garde.org.uk.
Also, let's not forget the duo Avant-Garde from 1968-69 which consisted of future game show host CHUCK WOOLERY and Elkin "Bubba" Fowler. They had a minor hit which hit #40 on the Billboard chart entitled Naturally Stoned in 1968 and followed it up with Fly With Me, which peaked at #130 on the U.S. Billboard chart in December 1968. Both moved on after their chart days were over. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
