Release Notes:
--------------
Ashengrace formed originally in 1994 as a three-piece lineup. Their
first album Drawing Down The Moon was released in 1997 and later
mastered to compact disc in 1998.
1998 saw a lineup change resulting in Ashengrace becoming a solo act
with David Holton performing all instruments, production, and
songwriting.
During the 1999 period David Released two albums. The first was an EP
of remixes from Drawing Down The Moon and two new tracks,
entitled Awake In Semuta. The second was a collection of demos for
the intended, but aborted, follow-up to Drawing Down The Moon
entitled Blue Ruin.
Fall of 2000 saw the release of the first new full-length studio album
from Ashengrace. Titled Surface this album saw its single Seven
repeatedly jump to the top of the shoegazer charts on MP3.COM and
began generating a fan base for the band outside their native Arizona.
In 2002, David put the finishing touches on Eve and Mistral and the
release of their first ever CD single for the track Coldlight. An
aggressive dance floor piece, Coldlight became a huge hit for the band
resulting in regular rotation at the BatCave in New York City.
In 2004 Ashengrace began recording Sandstorm, ultimately released in
January of 2005. Bassist Ian Christensen returned to the lineup at this
time and the two have continued working together ever since.
