Awash With AntleR live by the muddy Humber
banks and North Sea port of Hull, England.
Their music brings together three part harmony singing, English folk, orchestral strings,
dance grooves, dirge rock and something altogether more exotic; a love of Brazilian
samba drumming, tribal beats and eastern music. Their sound thus far has been
described as 'enchanting, disturbing, infectious', 'Kate Bush on samba'
and 'magic'.
Having filled support slots for King Creosote and Carla Bozulich's Evangelista,
Awash With AntleR are currently making an album to be released on Snood Records.
They plan on playing more UK gigs later this year.

Brief Biog:
Lu settled on the surreal name 'Awash With AntleR' during the Yorkshire floods of 2007.
Having turned to singing only when a pathetic rock climbing injury left her unable to play violin,
she sought out players to bring to life the tunes she'd been writing all winter and miserable summer.
Poi dancing, allotment keeping Sally was found playing viola in the Hull Philharmonic Orchestra;
Emma at an open mic night at the infamous Adelphi Club. Emma originally joined to provide backing
vocals, but when it was discovered that she used to bash marching drum in Manchester's Girls Brigade,
she was roped in as beat master. Now they all write tunes, sing three part harmonies and switch
between a multitude of instruments, including violin, viola, piano, harmonium, bongos, stomp box,
teapots, bodhran, kaos pad, guitar, phono-cello, glockenspeil & random percussion.
