Sasha Grey talk about her Book: Sasha Grey has become an inescapable presence in pop culture. However, her chief inspirations remain firmly entrenched in the underground. Whether she's praising avant garde filmmakers or listing off her favorite black metal bands, Grey's palette is decidedly distinct. She's able to balance those dark influences with a wicked sense of humor and a uniquely elegant charisma that leads to unforgettable screen performances. The Girlfriend Experience saw Grey slink into true darkness, while a high profile stint on Entourage (TV Series) etched her place in the zeitgeist as a proponent of all things indie. Then there's here band aTelecine.

A heavy metal aesthetic and goth industrial stomp cavalcade into what aTelecine does. However, the band stands out as an evolving sonic collective, constantly morphing with the natural whims of its members. That's what makes the music so intriguing and intellectually invasive. Grey will also release her first book, Neü Sex in 2011. It's another personal and poignant look at Grey's world, and it's bound to turn heads.
