What Did You Guys Make Of Ash?

Post by Volk-UK »

I was just wandering what you guys made of Ash when they supported OLP in the states back around July time. I've always said there are a lot of similarities between the two when telling people over here who OLP are. (NOBODY has heard of em!!!) Ash are my fav band (other than OLP of course) and with them being pretty unheard of over in the states I wondered what you guys who went to the OLP gigs made of em.

if anyone want to know more bout them I can point you in the right direction if you let me know

our lady peace and ash are NOTHING alike

at all.
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

I don't like Ash. They kind of bored me when I saw them in Columbus.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Yes! A fellow ash promoter on the board :D Ash and OLP aren't really alike to be fair...they're both brilliant though :) I was so jealous when I heard that Ash were supporting OLP in America...that's completely my idea of heaven :love:

Where in the UK are you from?

i see you've got the envy eye in your avatar, looking good

I was well annoyed when i saw they were touring together as i was stayin in California at the time, the complete wrong side of USA, :(

I wish i could have seen them. BTW if you look in Intergalactic Sonic 7's on the long page of thnx messages you'll find OLP mentioned... somewhere!
