"like a cross between Sarah Blasko and Mazzy Star, mellow and enchanting" Drum Media

Sydney-based singer songwriter Maxine Kauter is a musician not afraid to wear her influences on her sleeve. Growing up in Sydney's southern suburbs during the grunge explosion of the 90's the independent spirit of that music deeply affected her and has provided her music and career with its unwavering self-determination.

The fiercely alternative sounds of songwriters Hope Sandoval, Cowboy Junkies and Sonic Youth provided the inspiration for her haunting and familiarly catchy indie pop and sent her searching for their roots. There are hints of Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell to her stripped back and intensely literate songs with thoughtful and coherent band arrangements recalling at times those of Lou Reed and at others Mazzy Star.

Maxine began performing as a soloist and it was here that she developed her impressive voice. Today the Maxine Kauter Band's sound serves that outstanding voice and its personal and powerful quality. It is music that moves, literally and emotionally with the considerable talents of Stephen Beverley on drums and Shannon Haritos on bass providing an aching counterpoint to the songs and vocals.

In 2011 the Maxine Kauter Band release their new record, Alibech the Hermit, taking its name from a book in Boccacio's Decameron it reveals the songwriter's love of all things written and spoken, imagined and mythical. It is an album about the inner world, the world in the mind, similar to that visited by the reader in books. Littered with strange echoing noises and analogue tape it is a completely self-funded independent release and a testament to the very talented indie record makers working in Sydney. Alibech the Hermit is a world that rewards the attentive listener with a beautifully crafted and stoically alternative realm.

Alibech the Hermit will be released on Thursday 17 March 2011 at Raval in Wentworth Street Surry Hills with special guests James Edgar Francis and Manger (Zoe Vaughan and Brian Campeau)
