Sick Ass Metal meets Sick promotion- The Metal Circus!!

Fuck me, its been too long!! It would seem we have been so busy lately, we have neglected the blogs, and for that I can only offer our apologies, and cut my cock off. So with that, let us begin some hardcore blog-age, like a Hadouken to ya brown star this is the first of a few installments letting you know what the dickens we've been up to recently.



As some of you will know, we have just been on a mini tour of the southern parts of this foul country, with our brothers from other mothers Subservience!! Our first stop took us to Gravesend again, here we were looked after/ abused by the lovely people from Sick Promotions who, definitely know how to throw a party, that there is a fact, A MOTHERFUCKIN SA-DA-KO FACT... ahem... sorry. Anyway, I digress. Sick Promotions are, as the name suggests, a promotions company, but a promo company with a difference. Several sexy differences actually, different as in fire. lots of fire, and dancing... POLE- Dancing, and poi, and burlesque, and a crazy dead guy as master of ceremonys, and burlesque... oh sorry I mentioned that!! But yeah, you get the picture, these guys and girls put on an awesome show, and work fuckin hard to ensure everyone has a good time, and judging by the smiling faces, I don't think many were disappointed!




While we were there, we had the honor of watching a show by Daniella Martin (Who has performed with the Circus of Horrors) ascending the Ladder of Swords, jumping on broken glass, lying on a bed of Nails and "Human Blockhead" which involves 6 inch nails and her face, Ill let your imagination work the rest out- this lovely lady is well ard, trust me!




Reading through their blurb on their website, i noticed that they give what they can back too, offering internships etc, which is awesome of them. Too many promo company's nowadays do very little, relying on the bands to do their job for em, are disorganized, and as long as they get paid, don't really give a shit, Sick promo however are in it for the love of a good show, and do everything in their power to make it happen. Heres what they have to say about themselves...


"We are an Alternative Entertainment Promotions company with a difference.

Sick Promotions has been operating since November 2010 and offers local musicians the opportunity to perform alongside special guest and resident fire performers, circus acts, burlesque performers and pole dancers, whilst offering students and graduates internships and jobs at the same time.

We support unsigned musicians by offering the scene free to enter competitions, promotional contracts, recording studio time, music video production, radio play on MTM Radio and assistance in graphics and web design for free. We raise the money to fund these services through our events and agency performances throughout the United Kingdom.

It is an innovative approach to promoting which we are now looking to take to the next level.

Are YOU sick enough?!"


We certainly were, an we loved every minute of it! If your reading this an in a band, or into firey dancy entertainmenty stuff I suggest you hook the hell up with these dudes, an get involved in one of there sick circuses smash em an e.mail to sickpromo@gmail.com, check out their site http://www.sickpromotions.info and facebook too, tell em Sa-Da-Ko made you do it ;)

So yeah thats about it for this one, thank your mother for the rabbits x




im not gonna cut my cock off for the record!!

Sick Promotions - Not your Average Promo Company





We’ve just got back from performing at Leo’s Red Lion over Gravesend as part of a weekend festival of music, circus performers, fire breathers, poi and pole dancers.

There is always a bit of worry when you’re playing somewhere new as you never know how it’s going to pan out, sometimes the venue could be an underground cave ran by retarded monkeys that insist you to play for 5mins, while other bands use your equipment to put their pints on your cab like an expensive bar, I’m glad to say, however this wasn’t the case.

Noisy \m/



All the bands were very high calibre and there were a lot of them, with over 48 bands booked for the weekend ranging from a very smartly dressed chap playing acoustic versions of cowboys from hell, transformers and other metal classics through to brutal bands such as Ten Cent Toy, Shreddertron, and Subservience.

The music was spread across 2 stages, one inside and one outside, it was almost as if one of the insane circus freaks had used some of their psychic powers to forecast the shit hot weather on the day. The perfect setting to enjoy a sick pint (a green coloured pint of something that I was too frightened to even go near)





Shorty got Skills



The “sick girls” were also in attendance providing Poi and fire breathing during band performances and an opportunity for dirty perverts like ourselves to ogle at scantily clad women while drooling into our pints.




Apparently, the girls also provided pole dancing later in the evening and a whole lot of other performances that we had to miss, although I’m sure we’ll get to catch them again at some stage.




We were all really impressed with the professionalism of Sick Promotions during the whole event, all the bands were made to feel welcome on arrival by all their staff and the efficiency and calibre of the sound guys really added to give the event something special.






It’s not very often I give props to promotion companies because 70% tend to be utter shite, if youre in an unsigned band looking for gigs or a venue looking to spice up one of your nights with something special give the guys at Sick Promotions a call.....thanks again guys \m/
