American band named after Clifton thoroughfare announce Bristol tour date

An American boyband named after a popular thoroughfare in Clifton, Bristol, are playing at the O2 Academy Bristol in June.

Boyce Avenue, or should that be Boyce's Avenue, Clifton, Bristol?

Boyce Avenue, a misspelling of Boyce's Avenue in Clifton Village, were formed in Sarasota, Florida, by brothers Alejandro, Daniel and Fabian Manzano.

They are currently supporting One Direction on tour.

You might read elsewhere that the band is named after a combination of two streets the brothers lived on as children, but we know the truth.

Boyce Avenue are particularly fond of the food businesses on Clifton's Boyce's Avenue, especially Primrose Cafe where they often enjoy a vanilla latte, and Reg the Veg where they regularly stock up on their favourite vegetable, broccoli.

Looking forward to Boyce Avenue telling Bristol all about Clifton when they play at the Academy!
