Hayley Leaves Industrial Salt
After founding the band all those years ago, it's come to the time where
i feel it's right for me to leave. It's been an amazing 4-5 years and
I've enjoyed more success than I could have dreamed of.
Thank you to all those that have supported me and the band.
I do hope you still will, if they choose to continue.
Peace Out :)
Hayley

Nick Beggs (bass) and Steve Askew (lead guitar) will no longer be
playing live with industrial salt. However, fear not, they are still
very much involved with the project, just from the comfort of a swivel
chair with tea and biscuits.
And sometimes cake.
Their replacements come in the form of Jimbo, the super cool dude who
will take over as lead guitarist, and Naz, the oh so smoothe baby of the
band who will take over as bassist.

The band returned from Japan this week, where they played to a crowd of
17,000 at Yokahama stadium. After being introduced by headliners 'Asian
Kung-Fu Generation', they gave a fantastic 35 minute performance, even
managing to speak fluent Japanese in between songs. Industrial Salt were
followed on stage by Ash, who had been watching the band from the wings
and thought they were great.
After the show, the girls were mobbed by a hundreds of people desperate
for autographs, and happily signed away for over an hour.
Prior to the the gig, the girls spent 2 days doing back to back TV, live
radio and magazine interviews. They have also recorded an interview
which will be broadcast on the web at the end of the month to coincide
with the single release. As soon as we have the confirmed date it will
be posted here.
We will be adding a new page of photos from Japan to the gallery
