Biography

Annie Holland (born 26 August 1965, Brighton, England) was the bass guitarist for the britpop band, Elastica.

The quietest and perhaps most enigmatic of the group, Annie had an Elastica song named in her honour. "Annie" was written by Donna Matthews and her friend Jane Oliver and is about going down to Brighton to visit Annie, which is where she spent most of the time when the band were not working.[citation needed]

Holland left the band after the Feile Festival on 6 August 1995. Although she had some well publicised arguments with Matthews about the future of Elastica, the reason that she left was because she was fed up with the constant touring and was suffering quite badly from R.S.I. (Repetitive Strain Injury). At the time Elastica had been on the road for almost a year, and with even more dates being added to their schedule Annie decided enough was enough.
