Rumour has it that there will be new material released on the soundtrack to Slashed which looks likely to be out early next year.

And it has been heard from Mark and Rick that Ash will be back in North America next march. So maybe uk tour first??? With more plugging of ISS which has been spoken of? and theres talk of recording next year too :) busy, busy, busy.

From someone close to the band:

Tims been recording some new demos recently and they are going demo as a band in jan. Fantastic :)

News from Mark on the ash film Slashed, involving some weezerness in the news section.

28th November 2002

News about slashed from Mark...

"yes, yes, things have been quiet for a while on the slashed front but there have been many hurdles that needed faced and jumped. tonight saw the first shoot in a good while. a key scene was 'acted' out including a new co-star which old skool weezer fans will shit them selves over. ( feel free to post this on the appropriate boards.)

From the mouth of Mark Hamilton...

just recorded yesterday in new orleans ... 'I'm on Drugs' it'll be really limited, and on 7" vinyl only. dunno how many copies but probibly (1000-2000) It will have the excellent Death Metal ' Candy' by the 10 horse men on the other side . ( winners of the xfm covers comp) no release date yet , but it will be another low key affair.

as this will sell out (imediately to stores) you'll all be informed here how to pre order it first.

"i'm on drugs" is a pure Punk Rawk, Oi, Cramps-esque senseless 2 1/2 minute punch in the face.....

22nd October 2002

Mark Hamilton: i dunno it'll be later in the year before ash tours europe again. (album to record first) :)

So till the christmas 2002 touring US, January 2003 Snowboarding in France, Febuary UK tour and then the recording of new album, which in typical ash style will take ages but is well worth the wait.

30th September 2002

After Envy got to number 21, ISS entered the album charts at number 3, which is fantastic, this did actually happen a couple of weeks ago sorry bout lack of updates, back at uni now, more soon.... i recommend jed's site www.ash-unofficial.com and i think his slashed film will be out in december which probably means that'll be when the ISS best of videos will be out on vid and dvd.

4th September 2002

Brilliant review of Intergalantic Sonic Sevens from NME. NME.com.

3rd September 2002

New info from Mark on the ash film 'slashed' written by Jed Shepherd and starring Ash, Dave Grohl, Coldplay, Vines and more. You've probably seen stuff bout it in NME and Kerrang!

jed has 7 new pics but after that i don't wanna give away anymore *spoilers* til closer to the release. i wanna keep alot of the scenes in complete secret so that when you see them they are totally fresh and utterly shocking. the opening action sequence is so amazing it blows away anything john woo has ever atempted. well maybe not but it is very funny and for hard hitting supprise new slashed info will be released sparingly. i think this is a good policy

2nd September 2002

All old news moved to the news section and heres the artwork for ISS not that different to the promo artwork. artwork.

1st September 2002

Darth's comments about envy, envy, ennnnnnvy.

So i've just got the official chart placing of 21. ah well it's not exactly what we were hoping for but it's not the end of the world. sometimes went in at 21 and helped shift 80,000 copies of FAA so with the album out next monday. there's a few excuses flying around. we had little or no regional radio play. outside radio1 and xfm it was seen as too heavy apparently ! load of balls but this is what they tell us. also seems some of the shops didn't have stock / distribution probs etc. plus we missed monday sales with the bank holiday. it'd be obvious to say that the song wasn't up to scratch, but the general impression we got from press and general word of mouth was really positive. anyway thanks to everyone on the board who did their bit for helping with it's promotion etc and everyone who went out and bought the singles.hope ya'll liked them b-sides we reckon they're pretty damn fine. 'i shall not die' is pretty special i think. so to the future then, look out for a hilerious TV ad next week. james nesbit has filmed an add with him running around his house naked singing ash songs. trust me it'll put a smile on your face. as soon as we get confirmed air time slots we'll let you know when it's going out. (week of release) ISS / cosmic debris is out monday but you already knew that and the slashed filming will continue next week as the coldplay tour in the states begins.

Change to Envy B-sides:

dmh: due to unforseen circumstances things didn't quite work out like that (4-b-sides mentioned in the 24th June Session). now we have 7 almost finished b-sides. which ones we'll keep you guessing, but 4 of the 7 will be heard soon enough.

25th June 2002

For News on the best of album and vid, Envy Vid, Envy B-sides, Marks beard and Ricks Hair go to the News Section. Jack Names the Planets (original version) to be re-released in September.

Marks thanks to those who voted for bbb at mtv: can't say thank you enough to everyone who bothered to vote. i know these things come along every once in a while and we beg you guys to chip in but time and again you get us the result. yet another scalp for the ash-team. fuck yeah, this in particular should have a big say in getting our sorry asses onto the tube in the states where we're pretty much unknowns. so if we get massive, sell 10 million albums, become even more of arrogant bitches and never play in europe again, then it's all your fault, it started here ;)

24th June 2002

Best Of Video:

Mark's Comments on the Envy Video, Envy B-sides, His Beard and Rick's Hair

yes , rick has got rid of the mohawk, he saw eddie vedder on mtv news and said enough was enough. he now has a gleaming slap head. i'm trying to convince him to do the warhol again.

yes, my beard got way to itchy so i hacked it off.

the envy video was shot 2 days ago in la, we preformed on top of a building over looking hollywood , it was scorching and everyone got burnt to a crisp. and also had cameo's from andy dick the american comic who is an extremely irate cab driver after we all drive him nuts driving us about with , strippers, rent boys, the hives, britney spears, and the white stripes. yes it's gonna be quite a mental video. we are now delayed for 5 hours at LAX airport and i've had enough of being 'randomly selected' to have my arse searched before every flight. we've done about 20 of these in the last few weeks and it's getting fucking tedious.

the new art work to "I.S.S.' is well underway and it's looking great. Pat Lee ( dreamwave artist ) and my good self are genius's even if i do say so. envy is aired on lamaq soon , ask hugon for exact time/date. if anyone knows he will. ; ) the arena tour is almost 90% gonna happen. some of you are 'extremely hot' regarding the bill, some are well 'cold'. i wish i could say, but you'll be the first to know once i can....

oh yeah regarding the arena tour we're gonna have one of the best show suprises ever. it incorporates the new artwork, and if the plan pulls through, iron maiden will have to eat their shorts......... oh it's so exciting!

we go into the studio tomorrow in NY to record the b-sides for envy. tracks aere as follows;

1. new song, we never finished from the nu-clear session. sounds alot like the rolling stones before they got crap.

2. another old track that was never finished from the 1977 sessions. sounds abit like the buzzcocks/ green day.

3. 'i don't mind' newly recorded. it's such a good song and we feel like it.

4. i bit of a suprise this. imagine 'cherrybomb' basically the same tune, with different words. only sounding like a bit REM meets Pansy division. this is a how it originally was before it was reworked for FAA. the melody is a bit different , but it's so surreal we reckon it's worth you guys hearing it. we may also have musical cameo's on a few of these tracks from our friends in FLC, but nothings confirmed yet.

then next week we're gonna party as FAA is finally released in the US. things are off to a good start so we got our fingers crossed. then we're flying back to glasto where OA is gonna bust other groups asses backstage and give the stash to us. cheers about that PC.

ps, also the rumour is the teen slasher ( we're trying to get done in time for the envy dvd , if not it'll be on the next single ) is being written by some budding young upstart from this very message board ! scream if you like it............
