AU (pronounced "Ay-you") is the work of multi-instrumentalist Luke Wyland. Begun while finishing up his degree from the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, then moved across the US to Portland, OR.
Currently a full time duo with Dana Valatka on drums (Jackie-O-Motherfucker, Mustaphamond), it is a loosely defined amalgam of players that can swell to double digit numbers with full choir in tow and sees some of Portland's finest lending a helping hand.
you two killed it in tallahasee the other night made the skin flap gills behind me ears rattle really wished the other bands had opened for ya'll. best and all.
I can only describe your sound as amazing. The way you opened your set, crafted a precedent of the emotion that poured from the speakers last night. Un-fucking-believable. Thanks for coming to Tallahassee!
i hope so! i adopted a kitten the other day and i have new photoshoot ideas because of him. i still want to photograph your lovely faces. see you soon.
youre killing me! i can't come to the show tomorrow :( at least i dont think ill be able to make it, but i most definitely will if any plans change. and youre playing with why in SF but not here? ill be shooting their show here! hope to see you tomorrow, if not then have a lovely show. xo.
I am so twinkly toes for the LA show- it will be just lovely to see you lads- lemme know if you need help finding a place for your sweet noggins to rest while you're here. I also know of some great and ghoulish goings on around that time if you're savvy -Do you Portland boys know the Cave Singers? they just blew my mind here and got all those too cool LA kids to heel kick- I'm sure you'll do the same but in a more yawayyyaahhh! kinda way
