Biography:
Brandon Ashley's project was born in 2009 in Los Angeles. Known in the european scene for founding the band "Brandon Ashley & The Silverbugs" with which he hit the boards for 3 years and recorded the album "Nothing Lasts Forever" distributed by Kapkan Records and Bleed Records. Brandon signed a contract with "The Flaming Arts Agency" that leads him to perform with great success " The Kreel Biz Inc. Tour"in eastern Europe and Russia. Followed by the participation at the " Jakarta Rock Parade" festival. During winter of 2008/2009, Brandon and his Silverbugs are chosen to support Lordi in their european tour "Deadache," totaling about 35 gigs in less than two months. During this tour Brandon is given the opportunity to open for Iron Maiden at "Rock in India". The performance raises scandal due to his transgressive attitude on stage. In front of an audience of 40.000 people Brandon, as evident in the reviews, gained control and enthusiasm of the crowd. The influences of Brandon take their cue from the decadence of "The Velvet Underground" and "The Doors", the glamour of "David Bowie", the dark of the last 80 years and all the post rock and the electro of the 90s. In September of 2009, Brandon made , under the direction of Chad Michael Ward (Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus), the video for the single "My Decadent Thursday". In February 2010 his first EP "Nightmare Factory 82", produced by Dead Bongo, debuts on iTunes.
