Artist description Acrobatic Ashes is a five-piece band based in Chicago, IL. Formed in the latter part of 2000 by David Johnson and Megan Rox, the lineup has expanded to include drums, bass, and keyboards, and in the process has developed a sound, which is beginning to generate a buzz in the independent music scene. Certain elements of their music have been compared to the works of Slowdive, Belle and Sebastian, R.E.M., and "The Bends" era Radiohead, but the music could be best described as lo-fi, dreamy pop. Over the last few months, Acrobatic Ashes has been recording with engineer Dave Gierhahn and receiving a substantial response playing in and around the Chicago area. Currently the group hopes to expand its fan base with live performances and independent radio airplay.
