Road warrior Ash Grunwald is at it again, hitting the road next month for a tour clocking in at 28 dates. As you may have heard through the grapevine, Ash is releasing a new album next month titled Now – and it has all the attitude of a classic power trio. Ash: “I wanted to go in there with a traditional power trio like Hendrix but use a synth player instead of a bass. Ian Peres brought that and a whole lot more playing a fair bit of rock organ in there, which is something that he honed whilst playing in Wolfmother.” To keep you calm until the album hits the shelves on September 25, give single ‘Second Guess’ a spin. Hell, why not give it a few spins. Torquay Hotel, Torquay – September 26.
