Ashtray releases "Operation Ivy" covers record

Posted by aubin on Thursday, October 30, 2008 at 1:00 PM (EDT)

Santa Rosa, CA's Ashtray have planned a special live album titled Operation Ashtray. The disc will feature an entire set of Operation Ivy covers recorded at Danny from The Secretions' "Lame Ass Birthday Bash." The entire event was a benefit for The American Cancer Society.

The band's label, Silver Sprocket, had the show professionally recorded, and have just released a live album of their entire set, with all profits being donated to The American Cancer Society. The album is a limited pressing of 1,000 CDs with a fold-out poster insert containing photos from the show, personal messages and lyrics, available now for $5 from the Silver Sprocket store.

You can click Read More for a video of the entire performance.

Why waste the money? If you think it's fun, put it online. A physical release? What the fuck.

This is cool.

Bands covering songs = cool.

Cover bands = stupid.

Wow, these guys actually surprised me with how good of a job they did. I think the girl was... unnecessary maybe?

The guitarist looks like me! Except I'm skinnier... weird.

The female singer is a prime example of the struggle between the importance two different kinds of flat.

That girl is fucking atrocious. Is she actually a member of that band?

Isn't it kind of ironic that a band named Ashtray did a cancer benefit?

I agree the girl didn't do a very good job with the op ivy songs but she sounds good in their originial songs.

Is this necessary? NO. If they gave it away for free maybe.
