Concocted in the latter months of 2006, this slice of the British musical pie promises a veritable plethora of distinct and delicious up-tempo jazz and soul, funk-rock or folk hip-hop sounds, blended well with smooth vocals, and finished off with a smattering of classic-rock guitar solos. Serve with a glass of your fruitiest red. Enjoy.
To produce this energetic sound, Harassing Anna requires an experienced group of musicians, its five members ranging from 18 to 22 years of age and coming from a variety of musical backgrounds. Between them, they hold a large amount of performance experience in the classical, jazz and rock music arenas and therefore know how to engage with audiences in each.
As a band, they have a unique sound and engaging stage presence, pushing the limits of current ‘pop music’ boundaries by drawing from their musical training and their incredibly varied tastes and influences. Harassing Anna always provides a high-energy, high-quality and refreshingly original live performance which has appealed to any and every audience it has faced so far!
Harassing Anna were recently successful in winning the MonKeyvision Song Contest, organised by the MonKey Kettle arts collective. This was a great accolade, being up against 19 other well-established bands, and has gained Harassing Anna even greater popularity.
The band is now preparing to professionally record an LP featuring the best of their music from the last two and a half years. Until then, a couple of their favourite songs recorded in late 2007 can be heard here.
