Blitzkrieg on glue

About Me

AS OF JUNE 2008, FADE TO SEPIA WILL NO LONGER BE. OUR LAST SHOW IN THIS FORM WILL BE JUNE 7TH, THE MEDIA ASSASSIN CLUBNIGHT AT THE ACTRESS AND BISHOP IN BIRMINGHAM.THERE ARE SOME OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN REALLY GREAT, AND HOPEFULLY WE’LL SEE YOU ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE.THERE WILL STILL BE THINGS GOING .. WE COLLAPSE, SO KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED.THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT.
We’re Fade to Sepia.
We like Joy Division, the Wipers, NoMeansNo and anything that sounds like it was forged with sense of urgency and desperation, because we feel the same. We write music to march to, to burn to, to dance to. Becauses simply we couldn’t do anything else. This is the way we are.
Since September 2005 we’ve played shows up and down the country and along the way we’ve been lucky enough to share a stage with some really great bands. We will continue to play so long as blood pumps through our veins.
And... of course... there’s the Solvent Jitterbug...
If you’d like to book us, sue us or discuss any sort of mildly business related issue you can contact our management at [email protected], or 07951 418 871 (David)
Listen to this podcast. Lots.
