Austre Giltrap?
Austre Giltrap is composed of four heads;
Four unique individuals with a common ground;
The desire to make original music.
They formed on the outskirts of Atlanta, but they came from places further... Grady, Tampa Bay, California...oddly enough, even UGA.
In August 2005, professionalism joined the band in the form of Sarah Wilson; with the line up semi solidified...
Austre Giltrap attacked gigs all over Georgia's music scene.
Austre Giltrap has since performed all over metro-Atlanta (Drunken Unicorn, Smiths Olde Bar, Star Bar, Masquarade) and Athens (Caledonia Lounge, Tasty World, Little Kings) as well as on radio stations 91.1 WREK and 90.5 WUOG. They continue to build a following with every stage left thoroughly BLAZED.
At the 5th annual Battle of the Bands at Sweetwater Bar and Grill, Austre Giltrap proved they were a sound to be reckoned with by making it to the finals their first time out!
They are energetic, individual, slightly sociopathic, and always provacative; Austre Giltrap proudly contributes to the raw, distinguished talent blossoming within the Atlanta music scene today.
"A Rare Occurrence: Okay, God knows I love me some rock bands, but when I get a message that describes a group as a “unique alternative band,†I instinctively cringe. You probably do, too. Even so, there’s something charmingly fresh about Lawrenceville, GA band Austre Giltrap. Its brand of psychedelic, almost-naïve garage rock is more than decent, and I would encourage folks to give it a listen.....for real, give these guys a listen over at www.myspace.com/austregiltrapband ." --- Gordon Lamb, Flagpole, Oct. 2006
"ATTENTION MUSIC FANS!!!! Tonight at The Mission is one of the most entertaining,mind blowing, face melting shows that Ive had the privilege of hosting for the fourth time now. If you can imagine Modest Mouse meets Talking Heads and throw in a dash of Ozzy you just found yourself watching Austre Giltrap!!
My friends, this is not a band that you want to miss. Come to The Mission tonight, you will not be disappointed.
Stop claiming to be music fans, be music fans."
