Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Amy's Ghost are a multi-talented band from Reading fronted by singer/songwriter Amy Barton, who formed after entering an exciting musical project together, " Dance of defeat." Combining a no holds barred attitude and a mutual craving to produce original music, this selection of personalities made the natural evolution into a live act. .. .. Creating moments of beauty and fragility contrasting with tribal rhythms, filthy bass and mesmerizing sample loops, their sound dynamically achieves all this while still producing classic original songs. .. .. What Amy's Ghost delivers on record, they exceed in their highly visual live performances. Drawn in to the band's compulsive energy, many ears become one, the watchers standing unified like some entranced collective. .. .. .... .... ...... .... The bands first Album, Dance of Defeat is now available on itunes, Amazon or click on the link below. Alternatively come to one our our gigs! We promise a good show...also that way you can get it signed. .. .. .......... Want something to wet your appetite? .... You can also still buy the band's first two singles 'Lullaby' and 'Paperboat' on itunes and Amazon for the bargain price of 79p.... .. .. .... .. .. .."an impressive set from Reading band Amy's Ghost...." .. .. The Independent. .. .. .."To place Amy's Ghost in a box or genre is comparable to deciphering Lady Gaga's much-disputed gender, impossible. To speak in contemporary terms, throw in a dollop of P J Harvey into a pot, a dash of Kate Bush's melodies, boil in some of Lady Gaga's attitude and imagination with a sprinkling of Florence and The Machine's quirkiness and you may just create yourself an Amy's Ghost. Enough to make your mouth water? It should be." .. .. .. Glasswerk .. .. .. "Whether with brooding electronica rumbling away into your subconscious as Portishead are known to do, or complimenting strings that give the music a more whimsical air, invoking reminders of epic storytellers The Decemberists. It's in this that the band get their signature sound and what separates them from their immediate contemporaries." .. .. .. God is in the tv .. .. .. "Amy Barton's music turns heads. Her enigmatic personality inflicted with theatrical ambitiousness and diversity makes her more interesting than the usual crap that turns up on a Monday morning" .... .. Nightshift .. .. .. "This was an extremely pleasing start to the evening. In fact, if I'd had to go home at this juncture I should have felt I'd had a good night out and discovered a great new band. I eagerly look forward to their upcoming single release in the hope that it's well produced and gives at least a flavour of the ambience I felt part of at this great performance." .... .. Brighton live-Abi Rhodes- zigzag wanderings .. .. Amy's Ghost are far and away one of the most exciting, original and vital prospects to have appeared on the Berkshire scene in recent years….totally transfixing and utterly gorgeous, catch while you can.. .. .. The Fire Station - Windsor .. .. "stunning performance, Amys Ghost are the most original and exciting band we have presented thus far……spellbinding music with a theatrical touch." .. .. Tantrika Arts –Bath.
