Wednesday 17th Gig Cancelled!
It is with regret that I must announce that Lilygun will NOT be playing this evening. My voice has still not recovered from the Laryngitis and I'm not able to sing and the last thing I want to do is cause any damage. So sorry about it but hey, you should all go down to the Bull+Gate in Kentish Town this Thursday 18th for Aaron John's show at 9pm for your Rock fix for the week. Check him out here:

We have some cool gigs lined up for next year and I'll be posting some new recordings on our myspace page very soon now.

So until we meet again... Anna-Christina

Third Anniversary Of A Miracle!
Today is my second birthday for the year, I'm 3 years old!
I'm extremely lucky to still be here, making music and able to continue with Lilygun. Over the years I've worked hard to develop what Lilygun is. As many of you know this band is unusual in so many ways. To name but one, my constant struggle to find the right players for it which brings me to the point... Lilygun will be playing live again next month with a new line-up. Me and Piranha are so excited about the best line-up we've had and can't wait for our next gig.
So until we meet again...

Catch Anna-Christina and Adam Busiakiewicz live and unplugged tonight at Finnegan's Wake in Ealing Broadway 9pm...


Wednesday 13th August 2008
Though Lilygun's set last night was unwillingly cut short due to the shabby stage management, Lilygun came on stage with all guns blazing! Heavy, slightly tipsy and totally ballsey, Lilygun were a force to be reckoned with. The most fun gig of the year so far. Here's some photographic evidence of the fun...


Sunday 10th August 2008


Thursday 7th August 2008
Next week is a week of two extremes for Lilygun. First there's the Jar Music Showcase happening on Tuesday where the band will be Rocking out in their normal classy style but then Anna-Christina and guitarist Adam Busiakiewicz are playing an intimate unplugged set on Thursday evening at Finnegan's Wake 9pm. Although Lilygun have performed unplugged sets in the past, this evening will be of a different kind again.

This time, with only 2 acoustic guitars and 2 singers, the set will be made up of some familiar songs like Moonlight and the new flamenco version of Peace Of Mind as well as an old song that some of you may remember from back in the day called "Sick Of You", a few other songs and a long awaited cover song from Hedwig And The Angry Inch. The set will be completed with "Wicked Little Town" Hedwig's version, which Anna-Christina has been going on about doing for ages!
Full details of these next 2 gigs have now been posted.


Saturday 2nd August 2008
Jar Music Showcases?
Some of you have been asking me what the hell is this Industry Showcase thingy that Lilygun have been invited to play at!
These live industry events are set-up to specifically scout for new emerging artists for A&R’s, record labels and festival bookers. - THIS IS NOT A BATTLE OF THE BANDS AND OPEN ONLY TO ESTABLISHED AND DEDICATED BANDS/ARTISTS - Check out www.jarmusicgroup.com for more info if you must!
Tickets are now available at £6 and £8 after 8pm on the evening. Get them on the door or from Lilygun.

My Ways, taken from the Lilygun Live + Unplugged Cd has now been added to the band's myspace playlist along with Moonlight from last years demo and Pray on the Lilygun Extra page at www.myspace.com/lilygunmusic
Why this "Extra" page you say... This used to be the main Lilygun myspace page until it was suspiciously blocked last year! It's back running as normal now so this page has been designated for "other" stuff, such as interviews and other bits that don't make it on the main page. Genius no!
