Alternative Press Names Disashi One Of 2007’s Top Guitarists

Disashi

GCH guitarist Disashi has been named one of 2007’s top three guitarists of the year, according to legendary music magazine Alternative Press. He will appear in the editor’s list in the February issue of AP. As it reads in the snipped of the list posted on The Midnight Society Myspace, “It isn’t about speed. It isn’t about experimentation. It’s Disashi’s all-around mastery that allows GCH to bend every genre they encounter.”

Here are Disashi’s comments as posted on his Midnight Society blog:

Hey there party people. I hope 2008 has been showing you all a good time. In Disashiland this new year has definitely started out with bang. I’m proud to say that AP magazine selected me for their editor’s list as one of their top three guitarists of 2007! In case you seriously missed the bus, music is pretty much my life so I feel extremely honored that I was selected for this. Especially because the other two guitarists selected (Thomas Erak from The Fall Of Troy and Dave Knudson of Minus The Bear) rock me so hard that I seriously can’t keep my fingers still while listening to their music! If ya feel like showing me some love check it out when you get a chance. It’s in the February issue of Alternative Press with Paramore lovin’ life on the cover. Good times my friends. There is mucho mucho more music to be made this year. Um, ok bye bye.

Love,
Sashi

PS. And the correct spelling of my name is just plain icing on a freshly baked 7-layer chocolate cake.
