ashley-ruthtaylor

Remember back in February we talked about the pausing of Croix Chevalier? Well the two remaining members have started a new project called Ashley Ruthtaylor. Interesting name right…I think I actually had a peer in highschool with that name!? Rumina and Shan are naturally in the group along with aone and show no talk of support drummer yet. So far no REAL pics, just an outline of the band but you can see from the shape they are wearing suits. The group started in July and have a handful of lives set up until the end of September.

The singers include Sho and Saya. They also have an orchestra that includes, Hiroaki and Pegeot on guitars, Satomi on violin and oboe and Waka on flute. The group reminds me of the disbanded Amadeus, with both male and female vocals and orchestra. If you go to their myspace you can here a sample of their stuff. Listen to them!!
