Ash guitarist Charlotte Hatherley posted a brief message on her official messageboard reveling details of her next single UK single ‘Bastardo’. Charlotte has written and will soon record some new tracks to appear as B-sides. Here’s what she had to say.

Bonjour mes amies, i have been fully emmersed in euro duties on the glamorous ash tourbus. Oh it doesn’t get much better then this. There are stalactites hanging from my coffin-like bunk, but the whiskey and wine keep me warm and in good spirits. I do so love life on the road.

So far we have hit France, some of Germany, beautiful Norway, and now we have landed in icy Sweden. Next week we’re in Hamburg and Berlin, and that’s where the party really kicks off. I’m writing as much as i can on our few days off, have some cool b-sides cooking, i shall be recording those muthas when i get home.

I’ve also been brainstorming with Edgar over the bastardo video, fuck it’s gonna be funny. Remember those old ‘Jackie’ and ‘Bunty’ annuals with the photo stories? Summat like that…There are even more photos coming your way, and i shall be popping into chaz chat for some scandalous gossip later this week. In the meantime i shall mostly be reading my book ‘Our band could be your life’ by Michael Azerrad (Buy it, it’s about bands that rule)and cynically watching the election battle on CNN….and of course, sweating my baps off with da rawk band Ash. Do it.
