Flesh eating fun, and bone crunching
metal!!
Another Halloweens gone by, which means only one thing as far as Sa-Da-Ko is concerned, another night of face paint running into stinging eyes, fake blood getting all over guitar pedals, trashing shirts and rotting flesh, all in the name of the Zombie Apocalypse!
This is the second year running for this Southport based event, so its still very much in its infancy, but in age only!! This years event was bigger, better and definitely louder than last years, with more zombies, more blood more
chainsaws and even a smurf and Kick Ass thrown into the mix!!
The Fox and Goose was the venue this time around, dark, dingy and cobwe

bbed, with bloodied medical apparatus hanging from the ceiling and skulls and skeletons dotted about, it definately set the scene for the carnage ahead.
As the crowd slowly grew, it was Stormcorporation who had the task of kicking things off, and kick things off they did, with a set to knock the skin off any decaying corpse!! I must make mention of the Storcorp costumes at this point, with a pirate, zombie, american footballer, Russian communist zombie, and Jedi, which appealed to the geek in me, (I
need those robes dude!!) Once again, Sa-Da-Ko recomends the FREE download of their debut album!!
I cannot enthuse about these heavy metal bruisers enough, they tick all the right boxes delivering filth by the bucketload straight into ya lug holes! The guitars are faultless, goin from breakneck runs up the fret board, to beatdown effortlessly, defo ones to watch!!

Big respect to all who came down and got involved you bunch of mental bastards, I think the Fox will need to invest in new crowd barriers, as the one in place was no match for a Sa-Da-Ko crowd!!!
The Halloween weekend was, unfortunately cut short at this point however, as our Guitarist, and driver of our trusty white van "The Cougar Hunter" dropped some of the P.A. on his foot whilst we were packing up... We were due to play the Manchester Metal Collective Weekender the next day, sunday, but unfortunately had to pull out as Jay had severely damaged his toes and was unable to drive the band and gear down :( We really hate having to miss gigs, and our apology's to everyone concerned, especially Eyton, the organiser, but with more metal bands than you could shake a stick at, Im sure it was an awesome day none the less!!
Keep it dirty people, inabitch!!! x

So anyway, next up is the Vanilla Lounge in Wigan this Friday, 05 November at 18:30, withSynthetic Ecstasy courtesy of Make More Noise, hope to see you there... lets hope we get our driver back soon!!!
Around 200 people came to watch us play at Drakes bar in Southport on Friday the 30th Oct, we made a lot of new friends and the people who came as zombies looked wicked. Everyone drank, made loud noises and generally had a good time.
