Ashtray Electric's music is dreamy, moody and packed with riffs that resonate - and roll in a different direction.

Simply by doing their own thing, Ashtray Electric, with their subtle and magical mish-mash of musical influences, has over the past year continued to leave their unique imprint on the local music scene.

Recently nominated in the Skinny Jeans Tunes category of the 2010 MK Awards for the music video of 'Quite Overstared', this year Ashtray Electric also wrote and recorded the song 'Breaths and Bends' for local film 'Spoon' which is set for release in 2010 .

During 2009 Ashtray Electric collaborated with afro-disco electro-funk act Gazelle and have just completed the music video for 'When Sex Becomes A Sport' ? a lingering and poignant piece of visual art produced by African Attachment. Expect some surprise cameo appearances and more than a few plot twists.

Ashtray Electric will be touring nationwide over the festive season, but the one show not to miss is the Kirstenbosch Gardens Summer Concert on 27 December. Forget the festive madness, grab a picnic basket, some good company and escape to the other side with the sounds of Ashtray Electric.
