ASH TO EMBARK ON A to Z UK TOUR
Ash promote their mold-breaking A-Z Series with a 26-date A-Z UK tour
Working alphabetically through the towns and cities of the British Isles from Aldershot to Zennor, Ash will be dropping in on the UK’s lesser-visited concert venues. Exotic locations like Ventnor (that’s on the Isle of Wight), The Havana Club (in Jersey), Upper Norwood (South London of course…) and the Devonshire seaside town of ‘eXmouth’, will be among those experiencing a rare visit from a major touring act. Full tour schedule is below.
The tour provides the launchpad for the band’s unique A-Z Series, kicking off with the electro-ballad “True Love 1980″ on October 12th. The A-Z series will see a collection of 26 limited edition 7” and digital download singles, released every two weeks over the coming year.
Rising to the challenge of the 26-single campaign, with “True Love 1980″ Tim Wheeler has delivered a monumental piece of pop; tapping into Ash’s trademark hooks and three piece dynamism, while reveling in the possibilities of their groundbreaking studio project. “True Love 1980″ follows the critically acclaimed free download single “Return Of White Rabbit” dropped earlier this summer… Where “Return of White Rabbit” showcased angular guitars and growling basslines, “True Love 1980″ delivers a perfect slice of Back-To-The-Future synth pop balladry from Ash’s hit-writing engine room.
RETURN OF WHITE RABBIT: NYC RABBIT
If you don’t live in the UK, or just can’t wait for October, may we suggest you pass the time fully entertained by the ‘NYC Rabbit’ video for “Return of White Rabbit, directed by Karen Lord. The video features rabbit-costume-donning friend of Ash, Nickolas Kimbrell and gives us a look inside a typical night for a White Rabbit in the Big Apple.
