SH

There are two artists that share this name: 1) sh is a Japanese 80s underground group. 2) SH are the legends of Lithuanian guitar music scene. Coming from the deepest underground of Kaunas city, the band stormed the Lithuanian music scene in mid-90s together with such acts as EMPTI and TURBO REANIMACIJA. Drawing inspiration from such diverse sources as SONIC YOUTH, SMASHING PUMPKINS, LED ZEPPELIN and John Zorn, the early line-up SH were awed for their originality and non-conformist sound, but never managed to break big.

This website contains the jewels from the recording session of that SH period, recorded in Vilnius and Duisburg.

The band re-emerged last year with a new line up. SH is now the singer, main composer and local poet Audrius Kalytis, joined by Arunas Banzaitis (also from funky band ISSPROGE VEIZOLAI) on drums, Martynas Tamulis on guitar / doublebass and Vilnius Music Academy student Tomas Ramanchiunas, who added subtle bass and cello playing to the new sound of SH. Today, they stand along the new generation of Lithuanian rock music
