The Ashbury Tales was born in april 2007 toMike (acoustic guitar) and Victor (acoustic and overdriven guitars from hell). The initial project was essentially inspired by the folk music of the early 70s (Jefferson Airplane, Neil Young, Dylan…) but it soon became electrical because of more psychedelic and rock influences (The Doors, The Who...). The two mates were rather bad on vocals so they decided to recruit a true singer in June, Dominique , who played in a heavy (bollocked) metal band: Blood Diamond. From then on, rehearsals intensified and the band began to record their first compositions. In November, after Mike left the band and after a recording session (very special thanks to the greatest drummer in the world: Etienne the Deaf ), the band decided to search for a full-time drummer and a bass guitar player. One month later, the line-up evolves once again with the arrival of Clement (bluesy guitars).
The Ashbury Tales haven't yet played in concert, but they're thinking about playing soon (late 2007/early 2008).
