"All we see and seem, is but a dream within a dream"
Hailing from Bristol, Sy Ashdown is Morning Theft, a solo studio project where by using guitar, bass, synth, melodica, and hitting random bits and bobs and recording it he creates a sound which is not only unique but also fucking cool. So sit back, slip off your mochasins (or probably do that before you sit back cus otherwise you'll have to lean fowards again to take them off, unless you bring your legs up to...anyway, I'm rambling) just enjoy.........
"Beautiful, weird, elegant, off centre, electronica, with a poetic sense of hope underpinning the wistful atmosphere. Electronica for the romantics...."
My track "Good Morning" features on MillionDollarBands.com compilation "From The Underground"

We're doing a headline set featuring Visual Projections from VJ James Bragg and everyone gets a FREE copy of our new 'Sick of Me' EP on the door. Venue Magazine described it as '...an extraordinary sound...a sort of power pop/goth/rock opera hybrid...the most exhilarating thing we've heard all week'.
There also support from Sally-Anne Langton - 'one of Bristol's most promising singer/songwriters' - plus Special Guests. All for £5. You can buy tickets in advance from www. thenewroot. com
Thanks and hopefully see you there on Sat 31st May!
This is my music video for "It's Not Easy When You're Me"
