Cottingham Springboard Festival 2010 - two for free

Awash With AntleR play thier first gigs since last summer! So what have we been up to? Well, we firstly had a well deserved break. Emma bashed some saucy samba drums. Sally joined the Rocky Nest's ever mutating orchestra. Lu ate muffins, did some surfing in Cornwall & tinkered with Hurricane Lulu. Then AWA band camp rehearsals commenced again in November. In January we went into the recording studio for a track that is on the 'All Night North' cd - out on June 10th.

We are very pleased to be part of this year's Larkin 25 celebrations. There will be much more information soon, along with other projects we have planned. But for now, do please come & join in with fun & frolicks at this year's Cottingham Springboard Festival. It's a bit like a musical pub crawl over the lovely village of Cottingham. Shandygaff, sunshine & free music. What could be a better way to spend the bank holiday?

Our new home - are you local?

Hello & welcome again to the Awash With AntleR blog. We set this up a while ago, but never properly used it. This will now be our new home :) We've scrapped our old website, muahaha. It was costing too much money & was a paff to update. This is much simpler & nicer.

In the studio for Larkin 25

We've been busy in the studio, recording a track that sets Philip Lakin's poem 'Far Out' to music. It will be on the All Night North CD, released this June as part of the Larkin 25 cellebrations. We don't like to blow our own band camp trumpets, but it sounds ace!!! Can't wait for you to hear it. Lu, Em & Sally xXx

Singing by the seaside

AWA have retreated to sing by the seaside. Things will be a little quiet on the live gig front for a few months. Don't worry though, there's some mischief to be had in 2010.

Discography

ALL NIGHT NORTH











AWA have contributed an exclusive track 'Far Out' to the All Night North cd. More info here.
'...refreshing...strange and otherworldly...Far Out by three young ladies who appear to have overdosed on an almost lethal cocktail of Bjork, The Unthanks and Philip Larkin's Collected Poems. If it wasn't so intriguingly entertaining, I suppose I could simply sit and listen to the distant sound of Mr Larkin, spinning wildly in his grave.'


CHANNEL 16





'Channel 16' is Awash With AntleR's debut 4 track EP. Recorded at Fairview Studios & Lu Lu's shack, it has a rather spiffing cd cover designed by our very own in-house graphics extraordinaire, Emma.
Reviews of the 1st track, Bison -
"... a musical space that definitely sounds very much their own...an almost orchestral canvas over which their edgy and sometimes shy vocals, pour strange melodies and descriptive, dramatic dialogues...hugely original." Manchester Music Online
"In short: haunting, lush and magnificent." Mikey Reynolds, Sandman Magazine
