I had Avril Lavigne down as pop music for the early 'teens'.

Maybe her first hit single, and the fact she appeared in the movie 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch', confused me, and I am afraid I have rather ignored her music.

So I set out to try and find out more. Wikipedia gave me a good laugh - I quote (well copy and paste anyway).

"In Lavigne's official MySpace page, she affirms that her music genre is Pop/Punk/Rock; but All Music Guide and other reviewers consider her "Punk, Punk-pop, Pop/Rock, Alternative Rock, Alternative Pop-Rock, Modern Rock and Post-Grunge". The reason for the confusion appears to be for her punk-like appearance, however, she has frequently stated that she's "not punk", and that she never claimed to be. Lavigne said this despite her many claims to be a "skater punk" in her earlier years. Lavigne cites many early punk bands and figures as influences (most notably Sid Vicious), but her music has little in common with 1970s punk".

OK that clears that up...

Any how when I received this concert, (along with a few excited comments singing her praises) I was impressed.

Lets just say the girl (and band) can rock, and the millions of people who have bought her music in recent years, were well ahead of me.

It is also a welcome chance to post another more current 'artist' as opposed to the stream of old hippies that find their way onto the Beehive.

This is part of the concert and the audio quality is excellent.

01 - Girlfriend (3:58)
02 - I Can Do Better (3:34)
03 - Sk8ter Boy (3:33)
