The members of Average Girl may live in Brooklyn, with two members who originally hail from rural Pennsylvania. But when the trio brings its sweaty, energetic take on alt-country to Maxwell’s on Friday, October 14, it will be as part of a collective that’s looking to be a launching pad for some of New Jersey’s most promising underground bands.
One member of Average Girl, singer/guitarist Cary Kehayan, comes from Glen Rock, the Bergen County suburb which, along with neighboring Ridgewood, has produced some of the most successful New Jersey acts of the last several years, including Titus Andronicus, the Vivian Girls, and Real Estate. “It’s kind of crazy that my high school turned into this breeding ground for all these amazing bands,” Kehayan said. “I think what connects them is that they all share this basement scene mentality. If there isn’t a place that will let you play, you find a place, whether it’s a basement or a hall or a warehouse or whatever.”
