UPDATE FROM THE OUTER LIMITS...
GREETINGS!
It's been a while since we've orbited back around our galactical neighborhood. Lots of things change during time travel. Aren't we all time travelers? We are traveling through time right now as we speak! Don't you forget it! For proof... just count your seconds. :P
Those of you who know me remember me most for my solo performances all over and we then expanded to an electric quintet with a highlight at the Whiskey A Go Go last year as Jill Avilez Band. I've decided to change it to JILL AVILEZ AND THE LOVE ABSURD because... in all honesty this is not a band, we're performers, yes, we're a group, but not the stigma of a 'band.' We're a revolving evolving planetary system rooted in the highest forms of expression and experimentation. This is performance art. The Love Absurd comes from Albert Camus's 'Art is our way to rebel against the absurd.' The Absurd is all around us... in nauseating beauty we are subject to the atmosphere, bound to the ground, attracted to creation and destruction, music makers, dreamers, murderers and unbelievers, yet we're all trying to figure it out together. No matter what we're all together. I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. Our only choice is to look up. Love is the greatest of human experience, it is boundless. We must all be as Bold As Love and rebel against the absurd.
This time I've come back around with a new crew and we're chasing new storms of sounds.
INTRODUCING:
Steve Horist~ Tenor Saxophone, E.W.I.
David Olivas~ Alto Saxophone, Keys

SUMMER 2010 we will be recording our first album 'The Chaos of Infinite Possibilities' and should be playing shows soon. Please check HERE for updates because for the time being http://www.jillavilez.com/ is on hiatus. I'm going to be updating THIS a lot more frequently because more and more people have been asking about it. Good vibes everyone. I feel lucky to be a part of something so beautiful. I've got good friends who are amazing musicians and we're all shaking it hard to bring you something you've never heard before. Right now it's in its primordial stages, brewing... but it's coming. But we will play a show sooner than later to preview whats to come.
