Asphalt Ballet


Asphalt Ballet is an American rock band formed in San Diego, California, United States. Their style is rooted in blues rock and incorporates elements of hard rock and Southern rock.
The band's name was derived from descriptive terminology used to depict a motorcyclist crashing and skidding along an asphalt concrete road at high speed. The band consists of vocalist Gary Jeffries, bassist Terry Phillips, drummer Mikki Kiner, and guitarists Danny Clarke and Julius J. Ulrich, although at this point in 2019 the status of the band is unknown. Jeffries fronts the Gary Jeffries Band. Recently he was asked about a reunion with his former bandmates and said, "I wouldn't be opposed to it, but man, I haven't talked to them guys in about 20 years. There my space is no longer available."

History

signed the band and released their self-titled debut album in 1991. Jeffries left due to pressure from the label to change their style to sound more like grunge. Their second album, Pigs, was released in 1993, with Tommy Dean on lead vocals. The band split up shortly after the release of Pigs.
Information about recording new material may be on the band's MySpace web page, but there are long periods between updates, with the most recent reportedly being in February 2011.
