Long Lost PASH Song Found
Press Release – Pash Band
A recording thought gone forever in a studio fire has been discovered in a basement. Listen to/download the long-lost track here.
Rocking 90s Auckland band Pash recorded the song 'All the Way' at Slab Studios the night it was infamously gutted by a fire. A smoldering cigarette is believed to have been the cause of the blaze which ignited after the band left the studio. The recorded track was thought to be completely lost in the fire, the loss of which started a downward spiral for the group. Much finger pointing and acrimony over who was at fault followed, and Pash disbanded just weeks later.
A mislabeled DAT tape of the song, thought lost in the fire, has been discovered in mysterious circumstances, bringing joy to the surviving members, which is all of them. The good news has proved a catalyst to mend frayed relations between the members. They have come together and want to make the band's material available to the public for the first time in nearly 3 decades, starting with 'All the Way'. The song features Pash in full flight, with high powered rock'n'roll jets firing and an epic trumpet solo played by NZ music legend Greg Johnson.
The band believe their music has stood the test of time and can help bring people some happiness. 'The world needs Pash right now' one friend said. A reunited Pash will play support for the Lemonheads May 28 at Double Whammy.
