BIOGRAPHY
Sash, a Swiss-based rock band, was the first project by Sash (guitar and vocals) and Jun (guitar and bass) back in 1990. The duo wrote dozens of songs, resulting in a demo EP and two cassettes featuring guest musicians.
Sash and Jun met at Swiss military service in 1989 and soon realised that they both loved 1980s hard and heavy rock music. At that time, they were both playing the electric guitar, and they decided to form a duo and record their own songs. Their music was based on melodic hard rock and four of their songs made it onto a demo cassette, which was recorded using a drum computer and a Fostex 4-track device.
For their first cassette containing 11 songs, drummer Oli joined the duo for the recording sessions. Mike recorded a saxophone line on the catchy funk song "Traffic". Sash and Jun shared the guitar lines and solos. Jun recorded all the bass lines. Oli left soon after, and the search for a drummer and bass player continued without success. As they moved on, Jun decided to focus on bass only. Before that, however, they started a new recording session, resulting in 16 songs, with Michi on drums and Mike joining them for the funky sequel, a song called 'Rush Hour'.
The band played around three shows in total. In 1996, this chapter closed and a new project began with a more pop-oriented sound and Vohra.
