aw man i still love ash

the first band I really truly fell in love with, when I was 14.

Obvious choice really - Goldfinger
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35hDrzcHnIA&feature=related

They headlined at my college's ball in Oxford a few years ago. That was ace - drunk, in white tie, jumping around to an Ash greatest hits set.

- So you're saying that actually Ash had a lot more in common
  
  with respected US slacker rock than people give them credit for, and Yuck are in effect ripping off Ash as much as YLT and Pavement?
  
  If so, i agree.

I always thought Projects was one of Ash's best

Never found anyone who agreed with me though.

2002 - Leeds Festival, before Muse and Foo Fighters
2004 - Northumbria Uni, with Saves the Day and The Crimea
2010 - Electric Ballroom, A-Z tour, with Russell Lissak on guitar and the (rubbish) Parlotones in support.
2011 - Kentish Town Forum, Free All Angels set with Charlotte Hatherley.
2011 - The Garage, basically a greatest hits set.

6 times!

One of my favourites.

If any Ash fans haven't got the A-Z Series yet you should check it out as there is so much good stuff and it's a bargin for 37 songs.

favorite Ash songs here: http://britpopnews.com/here-are-4-great-ash-songs/

Strangely getting a lot of hate on Twitter for Ash, too. Was not aware that so many people think they're shit :(

cherrycola | 13 Feb '13, 17:50 | X | ^ This | Reply
- I'm always suprised by that too,
  
  sure people don't have to like them but I don't think they come across as a band people could hate.
  
  Good that they always get love on here.
