Could this be the fifth Sad? The Sads are multiplying quicker than rabbits. Is this the latest offspring?

So here are the only photos from the show which steve did not overstep his boundries and remove owing to him looking like crap. I can safely say that we enjoyed it, and it was probably our best performance as a foursome

The Sad Reviews: She'll Grow Back

Here are some reviews from www.garageband.com of our production of "She'll Grow Back", they vary from good to bad, and the reviewers vary between expert and mouldy cabbage.

Woo I liked it!
Why aren't you guys already famous? This song rocked! The cello makes the song perfect! You sound like a cross between Nirvana and The Smashing Pumpkins. I love the "empty" rythm at 1:29. The chorus is a bit too happy for the rest of the song, but I guess it balances it out.

Moody, melancholic, and muddy.
I like it. The production is muddy, and the vocals are sometimes out of tune, but that's okay. I like the Cello, and it sounds extremely middle eastern, but unfortunately, its not very clear. You have a sort of Jesus and Mary Chain-feel to you. I can't really find a distinctive chorus, maybe make it a little different than the rest of the song? It has a very Middle Eastern, storytelling mood all the way through. GREAT JOB!

trippy
I hear some Bowie, some really old pink floyd, perhaps Queens of the Stone Age.
I like the mood of this song, kinda stoned out, and middle eastern.
The cello works, it doesn't sound like a cello though, more like a middle eastern drone instrument of some sort.

i guess...
i guess the cello is the thing making all that out of tune racket. i could take it or leave it.
overall, though, i like the sound of this a lot. it has a good "sonic palate," if you want to get lame about it. the distorted acoustic guitar almost sounds like "street fighting man," which is rad.
it's almost tv-on-the-radio-esque.
this is pretty interesting. if you can manage to recreate this live, it would be a lot of fun to watch.

gripping at the beginning
feels like the dandy warhols and 1994 flaming lips in the beginning. i love it immediately.. good and interesting vocalist.. good use of that wild guitar sound in between the verses.. this is a noisey band, but the good kind.. catchy and driving beat.. the only thing i wish i could change is that it isn't really catchy, it's more interesting to me, so i might only listen to it occasionally, instead of as a new favorite.. couldn't find a chorus..the instrumentation is good, but i think there is a more interesting chorus needed and a little more structure. in this arena less can be better, but i think for these guys they really are onto something, it just needs to be refined... the cello and all instruments are extremely well used.

best thing i've heard here yet...
nice intro, but that drum beat would be better if it was a little less punk until the lyrics start. the vox are good, esp. with harmony. i appreciate the guitar solo in the background, but maybe make it a little more melodic or more agressive, sounds sort of out of place. second time around, even more so - is that even a guitar? it's irritating around 2:25. the lyrics should come up in the mix, as well

Sweet intro
Right off the bat I really liked the way the drum beat went with the intro. I think the vocals in this song sound very prefessional. They are sung with power and range. I think the hook in this song is catchy. After the chorus I really like how the intro/verse riff blends back in. I would take out that yell at about 3:00 I vocals behind sound good enough to where you dont need it. The yell at the end however sounded nice and well placed. Good song all around.

She Just Went , OK..
Yes ! An Indie with a bit of raw power and inclination to play on the wild side.
Riveting vocals,Pulsing bass,tight as a nun"s *~* drums, a Siberian sounding cello, Neat production, Mix cool as, chorus also coooool as
Ok guys count me in ya gotta 5..
All this and more while sounding like no other . Awesome !

It'll grow (back) on you!
Liked the opening guitars. Vocals were orginal too. Sounded like some effect Ween often use.
"She's gone but she'll grow back" is a cool line.
The cello gives it a slightly drug induced/pyschadelic feel to it - it's a little grating by the 3:00 mark though.
Chorus is intersting especially with that line about her growing back. I think maybe if there wre a better verse with a stronger melody it would accentuate the chorus more. As it is, it's OK though.
Sounds like...Sonic Youth!

Trippy
Very bugged out intro, almost psychedelic. Not really to much to this song, sometimes thats for the better though. In this song, I think it is. The violin(I think it is) added some major texture to it, and the melody you used gave the song a kind of Indian type feel. Simple verses, short phrases of lyrics, VERY experimental. Cool.

keep on rockin, later on

Barriers blocking potential to be great, but fixable
The cello is out of tune. If it is supposed to be out of tune, that's fine, but it doesn't help the song out. Behind the out of tune cellos and probably purposefully out of tune vocals there does lie a good melody and groove. Funny, most songs have great production to cover up for crappy melodies. This song is just the opposite. Shoddy musicianship covers up an otherwise good melody.

If you get the vocals more distinct and get the cello in tune, this will be a very good song.

Interesting tones.
I wish I could hear the vocals a little better. I like the tones and I think I like the vocal tone too. It's a little on the monotonous side and gets old after awhile. Starts going somewhere closer to 2:00. Not really into the droning thing that much.

Strange mix of Guitars and vox
The intro to this song is very lo-fi, which kind of turns me off, but the transition into the actual song is pretty nice. The song and the drums in particular, is a bit repetitive and monotonous. The vocals remind me of early 90's Vox.

Not reccomended for the insane!!
Is it Moose Mating Season??? Some of those background sounds your getting sound like the Canadian Outback!! Ahh Must be the cello!!! There were parts of the vocals that I thought were interesting but the drone of the rest of the arrangement brought tears to my eyes -- Sorry guys

It's a Sad Gag!!!!: No. 1 Matt Goes Shopping

Matt was shopping at his local supermarket where he selected: 1 litre of milk, six eggs, a carton of orange juice, a lettuce, coffee, and 100g of ham. As he was unloading his items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind him calmly stated, "You must be single." Matt was a bit startled by this proclamation, but he was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since he was indeed single. He looked at his six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about the selections that could have tipped off the drunk to his marital status. Curiosity getting the better of him, he said "Well, you know what, you're absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?" The drunk replied, "Cause you really are the most ugly person I have ever seen",




And that.......is how Matt and Steve met, for the first time

The Art Of Sads

The artistic genre known as "The Sads" has its roots in the Post-platonic Sponge Era of the early nineteen-wednesdays, and was a reaction against the artistic conventions of the "trump" and "ting-ting". Early proponents of this genre found their inspiration mainly from laying motionless face down in puddles, with various "object d'art" placed within reaching distance.
Although many early artists drowned, this did nothing but heighten the popularity of the movement, and by the sixteenth-90s even the King Pong of Sing Song had a "Sad" hanging on the wall.


Today many of these paintings are hung upon the walls of distinguished metrosexuals all throughout the land, and some have been known to fetch a bone.

X Sad Acting: Mr James Babson

Oh Mr James Babson why did you leave The Sads? You are still present in our hearts, and actually more physically, on a lot of our recordings. We miss your silky smooth voice, chocolate fondue on a cold winter eve. You left to follow your dream, to make it in LA, to be a movie star!!! Actually I was thinking about you the other day, well indeed I saw you in "The Illusionist" and I thought I should write something, as you are probably the most famous Sad, and possibly will be the most famous Sad.

So people go and see Mr Babson's website, you can even watch his greatest hits video. He has been murdered in many truly horrific ways, by many truly horrific beings.

IT'S A SAD FACT!!!! No.2: Nick's Previous Life

Nick began his adult life in a somewhat turbulent fashion. Mixing with the wrong crowd, shortly after graduating from Harvard, he was, not only, dramatically accused of causing the 1937 Hindenburg disaster, he was also convicted and sentenced to 25 years in Louisiana State Penitentiary. This was to be a defining moment in Nick's life and where he was to learn the myriad of skills that would prove vital in later life.

Shortly after his infamous escape (which still to this day remains a mystery, although many rumours involving the use of a helicopter and his pet hamster Jim have circulated) he began his short stint as a pilot, illegally smuggling 20 tons of beef per day across the Mexican border.

After an out of court settlement made with the Mexican government, he decided to take on an assumed name: Nick (with a silent k). It was under this alias that he became the darling of the nation, appearing in the 1950s 'Rug campaign' under the slogan: "We all love a nice rug!!"

This was a stable and happy time in Nick's life, but it was not long before his agent convinced him to put down the rug, and pick up a pair of boxing gloves. Brutal yet precious, disastrous yet rug-loving: his experience blasted him through the amateur rankings and it was not long until, in 1964, he was offered a title fight.

However this was not to be, for at the height of his career, finally the US government, forever on his tail, caught up with him. Offered a pending sentence, in return for his help in top-secret operation, Nick (no longer with the silent K) was rocketed into space. It was here that he was to remain for almost 40 years (or so the USA would like us to believe).

This period is an unclear time in the Nick history, but it is safe to say that: without this experience and those that came before, he would no be the fine bass player he is today.................................

A Sad birthday: Steve

Happy Birthday Steve! It was your birthday on Friday, oh yes it was. I would say how old you are, but I think I shouldn't disclose such important secret information. Also if our "fans" new how old you really were, they would lose interest, I know I have.

I unfortunately don't have any pictures of your "celebration" but I found this picture of you on my computer. Actually I had forgotten you were married (to Gavin).

Anyway Happy Birthday leader!!!!!

IT'S A SAD FAN!!!: Ryan

Oh, Ryan. Our No.1 fan. For years you been dragging yourself through swampy landscapes to come to one of our shows. How we appreciate thee! Rain or shine, snow or nuclear fallout, you have been there for us, tapping your little toes to the sads rhythm, yet never stroking our withered egos (no idea what i mean, by the way). You are the true orginal "Sad Fan", the beginning and the end, the father and the son, the light and the dark, the nuts in a snickers bar, the detonator of an a-bomb, the glint in the milkman's eye, the skip in our step, the calm before the storm, the time before last, and an ice-cream van on a hot summer's day.

But seriously, thanks mate.
