The six-piece, featuring local Bathurst girl Ella Jamieson on piano, are set to wow audiences with their take on some of the year’s biggest pop singles.
The collective reached an incredible milestone last month, achieving over one million views for their interpretations of contemporary pop songs on You Tube in just three months!
Fans all over the world have flocked to You Tube to check out Aston’s unique classical take on massive pop hits – from Kylie’s Confide In Me, to Rihanna’s Rude Boy and the one that took it to a whole new level – Lady Gaga’s Telephone, which has so far achieved 880,000 views over the past four months.
Never shy of a challenge, Aston recently headed into the studio to record La Roux’s former ARIA top 5 single Bulletproof – the track chosen by fans from a selection of six recent hits to be recorded by Aston for their next single. In just four weeks, over 10,000 fans voted online; Bulletproof can be viewed on the band’s website with the new single available on iTunes now.
Together with their upcoming tour dates, Aston are looking forward to the release of their debut album, set to drop in October.
You can catch Aston every Thursday on Seven Network’s hit series The Matty Johns Show; tune in to see them play a selection of pop hits every week.
