The Sads.............prequel

The Origin of the Sads

Once upon a time there was a little Canadian man called Steve Rusling. He would spend hours in front of the mirror strumming his little guitar, singing, whilst woodland creatures relaxed all around in a haze of dreamy contentment. Oh, how he enjoyed those peaceful moments, just him, nature, and a bag of porn. But one day, a particularly peaceful day, the Steve felt a sudden chill in the air.
And without warning a giant American called James Babson burst through the front door.

"What do you want?" whimpered the Steve, whilst collapsing in a heap in the floor.
"I want to join you!!!" roared the James, "with your talent and my stage presence, we will be unstoppable in the world of rock!!!"
In a fit of panic the Steve fainted, and was to awake 3 days later. And when he did, he found himself in a dark basement, still wearing his soiled clothes. There, in the frosty air, sitting next to him, was the giant. "Sing!! Play!!!, Perform!!!" shouted the James, "and I will sing too!!".
Reluctantly the little Canadian began to strum.

And then he sang

and then the James sang

and gradually pure light began to fall into the basement from above.

For it was sweet music that sprang from their souls.

Then a figure appeared, a man, not of this world.
A man who had been summoned from a long time away, a golden time, a time where there was no time.

He spoke softly and directly.
"I am the Ryan"
"From this day forward you shall be called "The Sads""
"Don't ask me why, I know its a pretty dodgy name, but it will be so"

And that was how it all started


It was some time later that Matt joined the band, and then James left and then Nick and Mark joined.
