Overview of Lilygun

As London continues to fall to their unique sound, Lilygun adheres to no rules. A guitar based rock band,
Lilygun is primarily Anna-Christina, the songwriter/singer/guitarist with various musicians that rotate frequently,
both in the studio and on stage. Her unusual combination of classical roots mixed with intense aggression has
resulted in an uncompromising and unpredictable Rock that has an edge to it.
Her music has been described as a shower of bullets and petals.

Lilygun is a band free from rules, fashion trends and the common trappings of most rock bands.
Not often nowadays do you see bands that offer something different. Not willing to submit to the norm, Lilygun has the ability to create a strange and captivating atmosphere when playing live. When the question arises of whom or what they are like, it's always met with the same reply, "I dun no"!

Anna-Christina's unconventional theatre upbringing plays an interesting part in Lilygun but more fascinating, is her spectacular comeback and triumph over tragedy when her life was almost cut short after suffering from a Subarachnoid Brain Haemorrhage. Clawing out from the pit of despair and defying all odds, she made an astonishing recovery and her pure determination and iron will led Lilygun to new heights nine months later.

The name "Lilygun" was just two words thrown together at first but as they progressed, it took on a meaning all on it's own. It's a perfect representation of the many contradictions the band has. Something beautiful inverted into darkness. Aggressive and heavy in parts of the set they play, to soft and fragile.
All inventive, projected with a sense of glamour and a certain freshness and vibe of their own. After much strife and tragedy, a new era has begun.
The extraordinary comeback of a singer who has been to the gates of hell and back has become a major part of Lilygun's history.
Where will it go from here?
