On tour in the States, a recording session results in the Motown punk of ‘Envy’, the lead single for 2002 Ash best of compilation ‘Intergalactic Sonic Sevens’. Released on Bank Holiday Monday following Ash’s famous Reading Festival performance where the band emerged on stage without any serious injuries despite on-site rumours that a US tour bus crash had left the band unable to play. The single entered the UK charts at number 21 while ‘Intergalactic Sonic Sevens’ earned the band another Top 5 album and gold disc.
Directed by Piper Ferguson the video featured Ash performing on the top of a Hollywood highrise and taking some wild L.A. cabs rides with Andy Dick. Plus look-a-likes with tongue in cheek references to The White Stripes and pals The Hives. The band’s label originally wanted the gay kiss editd out but the band stuck to their guns and the video released high rotation on MTV.
