Aisha

Sophie profiles Aisha - a Gloucestershire gypsy jazz grunge band...

Aisha formed around 18 months ago from the ashes of the legendary Fides. Tom and Nick have known each other a long time (roughly 17 years), and they recruited Will to play the phat end of Aisha’s sound.

Tom bangs the drums and Nick and Will take it in turns to play guitar/bass and sing, yep, multitalented!

Aisha playing

Nick and Will write all the songs - quite a few of these songs get scrapped or forgotten. Below, are a couple of samples of Aisha’s work, from their last studio visit. Aisha also enjoy occasionally covering songs that they like, previously playing ‘Untitled’ Interpol, ‘Old Age’ Nirvana and ‘Mexicola’ Queens of the Stone Age.

Aisha play Stroud-Gypsy-Jazz-Grunge (it has been pointed out that this is a bit similar to Japanese-Electro-Punk), and are based in Stroud. The band listens to quite a range of music, including the Pixies, Interpol, Queens of the Stone Age, Pavement, etc. - and Aisha are a mix of those sounds.

Aisha have played quite a few gigs around the Gloucester-Cheltenham area, at the Sub Rooms in Stroud, The Welsh Harp, The Two Pigs and various other places and are looking to play more gigs further afield, in Bristol, London, America, etc.
