Charlotte has left Ash

#

Started by MarkoJii (Ukko Perkele) in Other Bands & Artists

“After 9 years Ash and Charlotte Hatherley have mutually agreed to part company. The decision is completely amicable and they wish each other the very best for the future.
Ash are returning to the studio later this year to make the follow up to 2004’s “Meltdown” album.
Charlotte is currently recording tracks for her second solo abum (following “Grey Will Fade”) which she plans to release in the Autumn this year.”

Thank fuck for that, she’s gorgeous and a very talented musician but after she joined they went down hill and kept going that way. Nuclear sounds is listenable but everyhting after that is utter bollocks. hopefully this will do to them what Martin leaving T? did for Andy and co and they’ll make somethig as good as 1977 and Trailer again, a bit like NANE.

1977 was the ablum that got me inot great music, i heard Kung Fu and never looked back, which is why im so dissapointed by their recent efforts.

I love Ash on CD but they are SO boring live. Charlotte should be going mental on stage, but she just stood there like a terrible indie shoegazer looking at the floor and occasionally mumbling into the mic. Now the boys can rock! Bye, Charlotte - your looks will be missed!

I liked 1977, but Ash really weren’t the band for me to follow.

you need to be looking at pictures of her whilst listening to it! It should enhance the experience. ;)

Nuclear Sounds is dreadful, and Free All Angels not much better. Meltdown’s good (whatever Hooch says!) but their best stuff was the earlier stuff.

1977 waa a good record. Haven´t heard so much of them after that. They played a fine gig at Provinssi Rock festival 1996 here in Finland.
Who was Charlotte, what was her role in the band?

Finally, she can get out of there and go on with her solo career, which is far better.
‘Meltdown’ was awful.

Ash were the first “remotely punk” band that i ever got into, even though i havent really followed them of late, they are hit and miss live, but Mark, Rick and Tim always gave it their all but Charlotte was always the sultry, smouldering one on stage. Her solo album aint bad, but Ash will be better without her, and they should remain a three piece

Hmm, I don’t agree at all with that. “Free All Angels” is my favorite Ash-album and “Semi-Detached” & “Suicide Pact” are two of my favorite Therapy? albums. I wouldn’t say that those albums are necessarily a result of Charlotte and Martin being in the respective band, but I liked those line-ups and albums a lot.

Rubbish! Uncle Pat is great! Thats when Ash were good, Jack Names The Planets, Uncle Pat, Kung Fu etc

But I still find is strange that no one seems to have noticed Tim Wheeler actually can’t sing. So out of tune live its not funny.

I’ll agree there. I dug out “Trailer” the other day for a spin. It’s a great garage punk album, but my god, that boy CANNOT sing. End of story.

How he’s got away with it for over 10 years is astounding. Normally people improve as vocalists with practise, but poor Tim’s actually gotten worse - probably the more intricate quiter nature of their newer stuff merely highlights the glaring inadequacies in his voice.

Yes! I’m not the only one! Tim IS dreadful bless him! Good job he’s got good tunes to back him up or they would be a crap pub band! And is it me or is he rather lacking in the charisma dept too?
