Tommy Ash is a female singer/songwriter born and raised in Phoenix, AZ who has been singing and performing since her younger age (Yes, Tommy Ash is a she), doing shows in popular local venues such as Mr Lucky’s and opening up for Grand Ole Opry member John Conlee at only 14 years old.Tommy also shared the stage with Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, Lorrie Morgan, Chris Young, Billy Bob Thorton, Pam Tillis, JP Harris, Cody Canada & The Departed, Moot Davis, Tracy Lawrence, Neal McCoy, John Micheal Montgomery, Ryan Bingham, Cale Tyson, Turnpike Troubadours, and more.Her influences are anchored in real Country & Western music, such as Dwight Yoakam, Wanda Jackson, Buck Owens, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton, etc. WeHatePopCountry.com described Tommy Ash as a"genuine goddess of the honky tonk gospel", featuring her in their top "5 Female Country Artists That You Just Need to Know About". The Phoenix New Times praised the band saying it “draws on enough modern sass and classic freight train beats to appeal to fans of both Traditional and New Country” and included her in their top “10 Phoenix Bands You Need to Hear This Summer 2012”.In September 2013, Tommy Ash released her first album Sinner’s Blood (available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Pandora, etc). “The hard-edged honky tonk of the Tommy Ash’s latest, Sinner’s Blood, bares witness to Ash’s musical roots. It’s a quick jab of a record, stacking slapback rockabilly riffs over propulsive shuffles. The title track isn’t far removed from the cowpunk of the Blasters or X; “Sugar in a Bottle” evokes a Sun Records stomp; “When I’m On Gone” is a sweet sashay featuring revved up vocals from Ash. ”Friend” is a brassy ballad, with Ash employing an ace falsetto over languid pedal steel swells and “Yodelin’ Blues” evokes an imagined spaghetti western directed by David Lynch. Ash yodels, and it’s chilling” writes music journalist Jason P. Woodbury.

THE 69 CATS – A Perfect Halloween Date with Dracula & Elvis”No matter where I was Djing around the world, whether it was a Goth or metal night, I always spinned some 50’s rock’n’roll, The Cramps or The Stray Cats in the last part of the night – and drove everybody crazy and filled the dance floor. But it’s always the same records, there’s no new happening band.”This has been an idea for long time for Jyrki69, the singer of The 69 Eyes, Helsinki-based Finnish goth’n’roll band. His band has been playing their unique glam-goth-mixed sound for a quarter of century. Occasionally at their acoustic shows the singer’s been able to show his rockabilly roots and Elvisy voice. Fans have been overwhelmed and literally begged for more.Finally this year he was introduced to Danny B. Harvey, legendary American rockabilly guitar hero whose past includes bands like Rockats and recently Mötorhead’s Lemmy fronting Headcat as well as playing with everybody from Wanda Jackson to Nancy Sinatra. They worked out immediately a bunch of “cover songs that needed resurrection” and recruited the Cramps bass player Chopper Franklin to this new dark rockabilly “supergroup”.The sound, the songs, the chemistry – it all here. Not only new stuff for the dance floor to get the cool cats and kinky kittens go wild again but also bring it to the fans of all these bands. Expect an album, expect shows.But most of all: be warned & stay sick!The 69 Cats:”Bad Things” EP out on Cleopatra Records NOW!The 69 Cats:- Jyrki69 (The 69 Eyes) vocals- Danny B. Harvey (Rockats, Headcat) guitar- Chopper Franklin (The Cramps) bass- Clem Burke (Blondie) drums or Tod "T" Burr (Merle Jagger) drums
