Profile Information

Biography

In these days of instant gratification and apathy, it's refreshing to see a band looking at things a little differently. Sitting somewhere between Folk-Rock and Indie-Pop, without slotting neatly in to either pigeonhole, The Haiku, proudly independent and fiercely original, refer to their musical creation as “Power Folk”.

Having been around since 2006, honing and improving their craft, they are living up to the title of their 2009 EP release... “Not Quite The Same”. Their line up, consisting of punk-folk acoustic guitar, vocals and drums is certainly not your average indie-rock band and audiences are often taken by surprise at the intensity of the sound created by such a minimal arrangement.

Certainly, time spent with The Haiku leaves you in no doubt that the acoustic guitar does not have to be a quiet instrument. The memories you will take away from each and every show is an energetic performance of incredibly personal songs, which somehow manage to speak to each individual member of the audience. Anyone who’s ever loved and lost; or been frustrated with the state of the world; or been annoyed with the unfairness of life; or enjoyed the feeling of hope for the future, will understand and appreciate what The Haiku have to offer.

Their work ethic is pleasantly different, and you'd be hard pressed to find a band around today who put more effort in. Regular interaction with fans (or "friends", since to love The Haiku is to be a part of their group), is paramount, and they are acutely aware that without people to listen, the band means nothing. Thankfully, people do want to listen, now moreso than ever. We are all searching for something to break the monotony of day to day routine, you could certainly do a lot worse than let The Haiku in to your life.

The differences don't stop with the music either. Every single CD you can buy from their self maintained website, (www.thehaiku.co.uk) - or from one of their numerous gigs around the country, is lovingly hand made and often personalised. As well as that, they have also made a special edition EP - a live DVD of “Not Quite The Same”, played live in the back gardens of friends and family.

Update on Album Sessions

Hey all.

Just a quick note to let you know that all our preliminary demo recording is out of the way, and we'll be starting recording sessions properly tomorrow (30th Jan).

We're really looking forward to being totally creative, and totally in charge of what we're going to create. Recording and producing it ourselves gives us total creative freedom, and also lets us make sure we're totally happy with something without being rushed.

I really think everyone at Little Episodes is going to enjoy… Continue
