Newsletter

Dear all,

What a crazy few weeks its been in the U.K this month!!!
In the middle of all the violent madness, Lilygun have been super busy. We're in the middle of mixing our album, sorting out the artwork, release etc and inbetween all of that, we're launching our new website today! It's all happening...

Gigs: We began with a bang at Gotham 'Lite' and this month we're heading to Brighton for the first time (check the Gigs Page at www.lilygun.com for all the details). We weren't planning on playing another London show before Gotham Festival in December but you wanted it, you got it:

Friday 14th October at The Purple Turtle
65 Crowndale Road, Camden NW1 1TN
More U.K dates will be added so keep an eye on our website.

Media: Photos from our last recording session and gigs have been posted on our website and Facebook page, also check out the first live review of this year for us here: http://www.myspace.com/darklordofbarnet/blog/543587974
Speaking of Facebook, thank you to everyone on there for your support, we appreciate it. We're still not doing the Twitter though!!

When there's a will, there's a way...

Recording Update

Just wanted to keep you all posted on our progress recording our new album. 7 out of the 8 songs are now finished and we'll be back in the studio on 5th July to record the last song. A new song!

I had a fantastic recording session with Mr Bob Loveday (The Penguin Cafe Orchestra/Bob Geldof).
It was amazing to work with him on Moonlight and My Ways.
When I wrote My Ways it originally featured a string part that I programmed using MIDI but working with Bob was a whole new ball game and the results are truly beautiful.

Can't wait to get back in the studio to record the last song!

Lilygun feeling very fruity...

Modern Day Rockstars Are...

A bunch of self-loving, arrogant little impersonators with not a single original bone in their bodies. Posers and ponces, fakers and liars all out for themselves. It takes balls to bare your soul. These arseholes around today have no style or charm and have forgotten what Rock'n'Roll is all about.
Too busy watching themselves on Youtube, taking pictures of themselves and posting them with self-degrading Tweets. Twitter is for twats. No actual Rock band would do that bollocks! Speaking as a Rock fan myself, no I don't give a fuck what you put on your sandwich or where you were last night. Where's the air of mystery?

But it's not all bad... occasionally I stumble across a band that plays from the heart and means what they say and then I meet them and I discover that not only are they a great band but decent human beings too, the world makes sense again and I am reminded that not all musicians are total pricks!

Love you... ACx

Easter Bunny!

Dearest Rocksters...

Anna-Christina from Lilygun recording vocals photo
I spent my whole sunny Easter weekend in a dark, hot vocal booth singing my little black heart out and laying down vocals for our album.
The biggest drama so far is... there isn't one!
Everything has been coming together beautifully and I've loved every minute of engineering as well as recording.
Rehearsals with the awesome new Lilygun line-up have begun for Gotham Festival.
Yes, for once Lilygun IS going to be prepared!!!
Haha... we can't bloody wait. ~ACx

Welcome To Lilygun's New Blog

Greetings Earthlings!

We've joined the blogger's world! Reporting our latest trials and tribulations (of which there are many) may be more fun now! For those of you who are first discovering Lilygun here, please visit our website here: www.lilygun.com to get the lowdown on the band.

Lilygun's world is changing, It's the start of a new beginning for us. Recording of the 'Big 8' has already begun and we're currently mid-flow and knee deep in the making of our debut album. So far so good...



The album will feature a few special guest performances which we're excited about. In the meantime, we'll keep you updated with all the latest recording news, photos and little surprises!

Rising up from the ashes of the unknown... LILYGUN x
