Poor Old Lu was a pioneering alternative Christian band based in the American Northwest. The band experimented with a variety of sounds and genres, particularly grunge, funk and psychedelic rock. Most distinct were Scott Hunter's vocals, simultaneously melodic and menacing. The band as a whole owed a debt to Pink Floyd and The Cure for its high emphasis on atmosphere, and to Nirvana for its edge. Drummer Jesse Sprinkle was among the band's greatest assests, propelling song after song with his mastery of the drum kit. Scott proved to be a tremendous lyricist with philosophical, metaphorical, and spiritually-oriented topics. Common themes in the lyrics include introspective struggles with identity and spirituality, struggles with a superficial, secular, and modern society, and hope for life abundant.
The name refers to a segment in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, in which Lucy ('Lu'), returns from Narnia and tells her brother, Peter. Peter doesn't believe her story, however, and responded patronizingly, "Poor old Lu, hiding and nobody noticed."
While Poor Old Lu developed an extremely loyal following, it did not achieve wide popularity in Christian circles, due in part to its edgy sound and challenging lyrical content. The band addressed hypocritical televangelists, drug addiction, sexual guilt, domestic unrest and spiritual rebelliousness in its lyrics, topics generally considered taboo in Christian music.

Thanks for throwin' this page up. brings back alot of memories. Maybe one day they'll get back together for random shows, just for the fans who haven't seen them yet.
Oh, Chance for the Chancers or Speak Soft would be great additions too. peace, micro.
Poor Old Lu is truly one of the all-time great bands. You guys are amongst the best of the best - up there with Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and all the greats.
Thank you for the great music. I surely hope the four of you will reunite for at least one more album - "The Waiting Room" was such an outstanding work which has left me waiting for more...
