GASH
formed in 1997m and self funded their first CD release
"CAFFEINE FUELLED" that they sold at gigs and local
independent record shops, and leter, a 4 track, "WHERE'S
ANDRZEJ" in 1999.
2000 saw Gash take a short
break from touring to write and record their first professionally
produced record "VIRGIN ON THE RIDICULOUS", which got good
reviews, and achieved a higher profile for GASH. It also help them
gain support slots for bands like GOOD RIDDANCE, SNUFF, DEATH BY
STEREO, GROOVIE GHOULIES, FOXY and ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN.
Golf Records offered Gash
a record deal in early '02, and "A DAY OFF FOR THE
CONSCIENCE" was soon released. That spring Gash supported [spunge]
and Bowling For Soup on their UK tour, gaining them an even bigger
following.
Shortly after Gash supported US ska punkers Lass Than Jake, and in
autumn of '02 they joined Mixtwitch, Whitmore and 4ft Fingers on the
'Golfing On The Moon Tour', which was a huge success.
