History

After independently putting out one acoustic EP (Urban Rain) in 2000, the four song EP debuted in the #4 spot in Discorder Magazine the same month as its release. It also acquired radio play on Vancouver’s indie radio station CITR, and Ash herself made some live performance appearances on the same station. The CD made it into the hands of Trigger, the founder of girlgig productions, who’s influence on women artists inspired Ash enough to start playing shows of her own. Soon, she was playing at venues such as the Railway Club, The WISE Hall, and ROCKRGRL Music Conference in Seattle. Many main stages and clubs later, she’s performed with the likes of Alix Olson, Pamela Means, Ember Swift, Hector, Yvette, Fruit, Evalyn Parryl, just to name a few.

In 2005 Ash Riot released her debut album "This Time I'll Forgive You...Again". The album was produced and mixed by Rick Boulter (Cosmic Pig Studios) and mixed by Jamie Sitar (Bif Naked,Crowned King)
