Complicated came out May 14th. Was Avril complete nobody before that or was she already known a bit because of promo? Avril had done some kind of promo "tour" before Complicated came out, right? Do you know where and when Avril played live? What songs did she play? How much was she known at that time? And I'd also like to know what was Avril's first real (I mean with people buying tickets) live performance of Let Go era.
And basically I'd like to know what was going on with Avril during the first four months of 2002 in general.
I'll be grateful for every info about these things. And feel free to write anything that comes to your mind regarding the beginning of Let Go era.

All I know is that I think this was her first live TV performance: I don't know the exact date though, it just says June 2002.

As far as the beginning of 2002, I don't think LG was even completed until March. So only a couple months after that the first single came out. In April she recorded an AOL Sessions:

I've heard something about an EP coming out before Let Go but I don't know if that's true.

In this old interview Avril talks a bit about her promo tour with Evan. The video says that it's from April 17 but it seems weird to me. Isn't it too early?

Yes she released the Angus Drive EP but Wikipedia says it was released Jan 2003 which wouldn't make sense. But it just contained a few LG songs as a promo.

I studied vocal production/engineering at school, I work in the music industry and I've been an avril fan since before Complicated was officially released, so I know her voice too well haha.

I just remember that she blew up incredibly quickly - like it was a phenomenon. Within a week of Complicated airing on MTV, she was on every radio station - you could not go out without hearing the song at the supermarket or the gas station (this is in Australia btw).
A radio station in Sydney ran a competition to meet her in July 2002. They cancelled it after a few days, & I emailed them to ask why. Apparently she'd been booked to do a promo tour in Oz, but then her people cancelled it - I'm guessing because she was suddenly doing so well that they wanted to focus on the bigger markets (USA & Europe).
By the time the Skater Boi vid came out she was verging on household name status - like Taylor or Katy today. TRL had a lot to do with it - that show was massive and broadcast in heaps of countries.
Interesting thread! I'd love to get more info on the 6 mths preceding the release of Let Go. Personally I think Terry McBride from Nettwerk (her first manager and the guy who signed her) is a genius, and I'd love to know exactly what he did in the lead up to the launch of Avril's debut.
