Red Ash and the Love Commandos
A pure E number overdose of a band. Red Ash and the Love Commandos are the foxiest thing since Robin Hood [Walt Disney version].
Red Ash are simply cute and funky!
They describe their music as a kind of dancy-funky-indie guitar groove influence. I have an other word for it. MAGIC!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Once whilst taking a break from a long mixing session, I said I was going out to buy some 'catfood', someone else asked for some 'coke'. We had a visitor in the studio, who knew little of the rock'n'roll lifestyle other than what he'd read in the press. He presumed that 'catfood' was a code word of some illegal substance, and when some one else asked for coke, well that just confirmed it. "Chris can I get you anything I asked?" "No I'm fine" came a rather shaky reply, [Chris was looking quite worried at this point, and we all thought what's his problem].
You should have seen the look on his face when I returned with a tin of Whisker's Tuna Catfood and a can of Coke-a-cola!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I like to play up anywhere.
Describe your sound. A sex noise, or was that a sex nose.
Where can people come and see you play? I'm not allowed out the house these days.

Anything else?
What are the individual member's names and what do they play? The bands just a concept, everyone gets a call as when needed.
How did you meet? Mainly pure bad luck, I meet the new backing singers at club, Jane down the pub, apart from meeting Dave Sexy, which was in a supermarket.
How long have you been together? About 3 feet.
