Blending elements of Stian Westerhus, PJ Harvey, and Marc Ribot, Ava Mendoza deconstructs blues and punk into her own universe, making the guitar sing with intensity, power, and originality. Brooklyn-based Ava Mendoza is not only a ferocious guitarist, but also a vocalist with the lung power to rival Nina Hagen at her most intense. Unnatural Ways is her main band, but when she’s not touring solo, Mendoza also finds time to collaborate with Fred Frith and Nels Cline. Groovy noise guitar with a firm footing in rock!
