Winner of the MK Award 2009 for Best Newcomer, Ashtray Electric, brings you a fresh new sound that is a delicate mixture of foot-tapping beats and rolling riffs. Not adhering to commercial beats, Ashtray Electric is set to take the SA Music Scene by their very own handshake of music that is inspired by a large selection of musical styles and genres.

In 2008, Ashtray Electric recorded a new single “Quite Overstared” for the Bellville Rock City compilation that was released by Rhythm Records in December 2008. “Quite Overstared” was playlisted on campus radiostations nationwide and reached the no 1 position on Tuks FM Top 30 and no 1 on Tuks FM SA Top 10.
