I got to hang out with them at practice, attended a show and had a great time! Ashtray did a collaboration song with another big act called Gazelle and will be released soon. They wanted to do a music video for the song but the 2 bands couldn't come together for the shoot since Gazelle is in New York recording a new album. Andre and I talked about possibly doing a full animation music video for the song and a few weeks later I pitched them a few storyboards and just like that Purple Gorilla got the gig. We've been working on it for the past month and we're in our final week of animating. As soon as we have a confirmed release date I'll post behind the scenes footage, making of the video and other fun stuff.

Ashtray Electric & Gazelle Music Video
While visiting South Africa I hung out with my old friend Andre Pienaar. Andre is the lead singer of Ashtray Electric, very successful indie rock band based from Cape Town, South Africa. Their debut album, Bonjour, came out last year and was an immediate hit. They're recording a follow up right now called Measured In Falls and will hit the shelves early 2011.
