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.
hey! i was lucky enough to catch you guys at the WHY? show at the beginning of last month. I hadn'd heard of you guys, but now won't forget. Great Job. Best Wishes on your journey
I know it wasn't long since you were last here... but you know, you're great, and we'd like to see more of you. When you've finished on the continent, give us a wee show.
We were privelaged to support you on Your UK Scottish date of May 3rd 2009 in Glasgows Captains Rest. We have unyet met a band that equals your ability to play good music. We will always remember that night....Any time, just give us a shout.
Good times had. and much MUCH respect............Zhyrlings.
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!
