Porn star forms an experimental electronic band

a Telecine did their first ever show at the Unsound festival in Poland.
I’m not going to judge Sasha Grey -the award winning porn star, who left the industry last year to dedicate her time to a much wider range of actives- as Tyra Banks did in her Tv show, which I can tag as one of the most uncomfortable interviews I’ve ever seen. Not uncomfortable for the guest, but for the host. It looked like she was forced to interview a serial killer who is actually proud of his actions, getting the critical looks of an audience composed mainly by middle-aged housewives. At that time -2007- Sasha was 18 years old, and has already done 80 porn movies. 5 years later, she’s done 270. But this is not the only achievement she has made during this time: A leading role in The Girlfriend Experience, from famous director Steven Soderberg, in which she plays an escort; an appearance in the music video for Eminem's song ‘Space Bound’; a few modeling jobs –including Playboy, of course; playing herself in the popular TV show Entourage and co-starring alongside Rob Lowe in the thriller I Melt With You which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, are a few examples that proof her ambition.
But what she really likes is music, so a part from performing regularly as a DJ, she also formed an industrial band, aTelecine. A few weeks ago she performed in Poland, in a renowned festival, getting decently reviews (not great, not awful) with her band, which is formed by Sasha Grey, Pablo St. Francis, and Anthony D'Juan. Their debut album The Falcon and the Pod was released on 9th August 2011. If you want to know Sasha inside out, you can watch her movies, or read her biographical debut novel The Juliette Society.
I’m just going to say, judge for yourselves!
