Page "Ash (band)" Paragraph 2

In 1993 the band recorded the Garage Girl demo tape, which featured " Jack Names the Planets " and " Intense Thing " taken from Shed, as well as some new tracks including " Petrol ".

Following Garage Girl, they released their compilation demo tape, Pipe Smokin ' Brick later that year, which featured an assortment of songs from the other tapes.

Downpatrick musician Ray Valentine recorded Ash's demos at his studio, Cosmic Rays.

At that time, the band were known as " Genuine Real Teenagers ," because they were so young when recording their early material.

The demo tapes had not gained much attention yet and the band were still playing small shows at local clubs, but in early 1994, Stephen Taverner came across the Garage Girl demo tape.

Taverner put up the money so that they could press 1, 000 7 ″ copies of " Jack Names the Planets " on his own LaLaLand record label.

Taverner subsequently became the band's full-time manager.
