Since debuting in 2011, the band Avalanche City, the project of Dave Baxter, has enchanted New Zealand with its light and energetic indie folk-pop tunes. Born in the UK and moving to New Zealand at six months old, Baxter grew up in Tauranga and Hamilton. Musically gifted from a young age, he began playing guitar at nine and performed in local bands during his teens.
Avalanche City's first album,聽Our New Life Above the Ground, featured the hit single "Love Love Love," which soared to No. 1 on the New Zealand charts. The follow-up album,聽We Are for the Wild Places聽(2015), included the popular No. 1 single "Inside Out". After the 2019 release of聽My Babylon, Baxter took a break from music to focus on family and personal life.
After a nearly five-year break, Dave Baxter returned in 2024 with a new single, "Keep That Love." His comeback marks a renewed chapter for Avalanche City, as Baxter resumes his musical journey with fresh energy and commitment.
