Michael Aston

In 1989, Aston left Gene Loves Jezebel over his unhappiness with the direction of the band and strained relations with his twin brother, Jay.

Moving to California, Aston started the Immigrants, which eventually became Edith Grove.

Aston wrote and released his first solo album, called Why Me Why This Why Now?.
