MASHU was a Canterbury scene improvisational supergroup that lasted from 1995 to 1998. The name is a reference to Mashu (a mountain in the Epic of Gilgamesh) and a combination of the first two letters of the band members' first names: MArk Hewins (guitar), (percussion), and HUgh Hopper (bass). The band played a handful of shows in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Since then, Hewins and Maïtra have continued to work together on other projects.
