Amy Blue are a British indie rock band that languish somewhere in the area between 65daysofstatic, Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth and The Smashing Pumpkins.
Originally formed by Simon ‘Evol-I’ Chatterton and JP Rutter as an electronic project, Amy Blue began to explore darker and louder territories with the addition of bassist Danny Legg and skilled jazz musician Lex Sampson on drums, using drones, feedback and multiple layers of guitars to create their fuzzy noise pop. Legg left the band in 2008, replaced by Trev Hatton (ex of Lunar Jet Man).
After playing many shows around Britain’s capital with the likes of Popular Workshop, The Sailplanes, Screaming Tea Party, Das Wanderlust and The Early Years, the band hibernated to work on their first full length debut album, The Fortress and The Fatalist, released August 2009 via CD, Itunes and ltd edition tape (tbc). The album had very positive press from the likes of God Is In The TV, Bearded Magazine and The 405 and the band played a high profile and eventful set at the Our Band Could BBQ Your Life festival where they paid homage to the Butthole Surfers as per festival requirements (see myspace/youtube for the video).
The band have just recieved their first proper radioplay on Tom Robinson’s “Fresh On The Net” on BBC6 music and are looking towards recording the follow up ep and album early next year
