Silver Ash (simplified Chinese: 银色灰尘; traditional Chinese: 銀色灰塵; pinyin: Yinse huichen) is China's first gothic band. They formed in the year 2000 and are located in Beijing. They combine a mix of visual kei, glam rock, and goth rock. The original line-up included Ling (vocals), Lucy (guitar), Nancy (guitar), Hong (bass), and Zhen (drums). Despite some members using feminine names, all members past and present are male. They are similar to Dir en grey, Radiohead, X Japan, and Malice Mizer.

[edit] History

Silver Ash was produced by the Gorgeous Devil Studio and Scream Records from 2000-2005. Guitarist Nancy left the band before they signed onto Scream Records. In 2005, they chose to leave Scream Records and were without a record label (and still are). Due to personal reasons, some of the Silver Ash members were forced to leave the band. Guitarist Lucy was replaced by Yue. After much deliberation, Hong had to leave the band and was replaced by new bassist Yu. The latest addition to the band is Bai Niao (whose name translates into White Bird in English), on keyboard. Previously, Bai Niao was the vocalist and keyboardist of another Chinese Visual Kei band called Frozen Blood (冻结的血液).

[edit] Currently

Silver Ash has been facing a lot of difficulties. The other band members had left Silver Ash temporarily to pursue their careers, leaving only Ling for a short period of time. They were also scheduled to tour the US in 2003-2004, but it was canceled due to the SARS scare. It was last heard that they were still without a record label, as well, but were given various offers from Japanese record labels, such as Avex Trax. They were previously signed to Toshiba-EMI, but were released from the contract again due to government problems.

In the most recent news, Silver Ash held a live on August 30th with Japanese band, La'cryma Christi, particularly to be viewed by the record label SWEET-CHILD.

Their most recent release is the PV for a track named 海的女儿 (pinyin: Hai de nu'er). The title of the track roughly translates into Daughter of the Sea.

Silver Ash is currently playing live shows in China.
