FILTH LICKER (AKANAME) - Taken from Awakening 26/5/13
My lips lick filth, taste pain,
I am your nightmare
I am the embodiment
Of everything you fear
The loss of innocence
A silent predator

(Free Me)

I am the great unwashed
I am the class divide
I am the 99%
I am all you despise
When I rear my ugly head,
you will know fear,
And your hearts filled full of dread-
You will cower in your own piss
I am the filth licker Akaname
Rage made me, I thrive on filth you see
I am all you hate
The exception to the rule
The square peg In the round hole

(Free Me)

I am the evil eye
I am the social conscience
I am pure Hate
I am your subconscious
I am everything you want to be- but deny
I can say I am truly free- and not lie

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
Else this fist will rise up against you
I am the filth licker
Akaname  (You made me what I am today)
I am the filth licker
(Pushed down so far I became)
Akaname

Sa-da-ko announce new line up.

Sa-da-kO - Project 2013 22/2/13

As you may have gathered from my last post we have had a few line up issues of late, with the departure of our original members Rob Morris & Jay Deano we have had the hard task of replacing a bass player and guitarist.

After our reach out via facebook we were amazed by the response and we are now happy to say we have found guys that are able to fit these massive shoes and shirts and ties.

So without further ado I would like to formally welcome Carl Emsley and Alex Burnell as new members to the Sa-da-ko fold. not only have the guys been able to learn the material in record time we believe that these guys will be able to add a little something extra to the crew.

We are currently working away at perfecting the set and and ensuring that 2013 is going to be a land mark year for the band,  building a tour for this year and we have already secured some decent festival slots.

On a side note I would like to thank again everyone who has supported the band so far and every musicina who came and jammed with us during our search, we had  chance to meet some of the finest muso's and some new friends along the way.

Sa-da-kO - Announce Album Release Date & 2 Day Launch Party

12/02/13 - Words unspoken...2 day bender on the horizon.

Right, let me start by saying that we've had a lot on the last few months and although it may appear that we have been away from the outside there has been a lot of panicking within the ranks,

Firstly it’s no secret we've had a few line up problems and with the departure of our bass player Bobbie and guitar player Deano we have been forced to evaluate things and talk about the future of the band.

Bobbie has had lot of problems regarding his wrist and it was really effecting his playing and Deano’s family/work life commitments have grown significantly this year to the point where he has been unable to juggle everything. This has meant that both lads have decided to call it a day.

It’s all very amicable and there are no hard feelings at all in fact it quite the opposite, we have become very good friends over the years and will still continue to do so however having to make decisions and watching our friends make hard life decisions has been one of the most difficult things we have had to go through as band.

I don’t want to dwell too much but both lads know that they always will be part of Sa-da-kO and its growth and that they will always be in the heart of it..

Right no more gaying about.......... (sniff I’m not crying I’m cutting onions!)

So, We have a new line up, this will be unveiled shortly but  more importantly “Awakenings” is finished and we are currently working on getting it out and about to reviewers, press and industry type folks.

We have set the date for release, and are having one hell of a party to celebrate, in fact we are putting on a 2 day festival in Southport on the 25th-26th of May to mark the occasion and why the hell not?

•  It’s by the sea
• It has a fair
•  It has takeaways everywhere
• Tons of B&B’s
• Weird drunken types everywhere
• It’s practically a festival site already, just add metal!

Heres the line up teaser poster I announced yesterday

There’s loads more to add so keep posted by joining the event  on facebook and I will try my best to keep up to date on things.

Right should have more news soon, until then see yaz later

Dave Chang Working with Sa-da-kO on New Album

Ok, So our search for a new bass player continues!!!

Just to let you know we have several people trying out at the moment so I’m sure we will be back on the road in no time.

In the meantime, I have a titbit of information regarding our forthcoming release awakenings; we were in the throes of having a studio master the entire album but unfortunately after a bit of a wait this was dropped due to work heavy work commitments at the studio.

There is good news though as we are now working with one my favorite UK producers Dave Chang, Dave has worked with loads of top UK and international acts including Orange Goblin, Stamping ground and Earthtone9.

We initially contacted Dave in hope of having him master “awakenings” but he offered to mix and master the entire record for us.

After a few playbacks of early mixes we have to say that we are thrilled to bits by the results that Dave had been throwing all over our ear sphincters and we are literally weeks away from receiving the finished product. its almost time to "wake the fuck up!"

To find out more about Dave, check up to date with his other projects or just to contact him for help with your project check his website at www.davechang.co.uk

That’s all for now but I will keep you informed of how it’s all going as soon as I can,

Opencart blog manger

I'm currently trying to move this blog over to our new site, I'm already displaying about the last 5 pages on the blog tabs but i want more, a lot more.

Over the last few years some of you may know I've been working in SEO or flirting with it really but I'm finding more and more of it interesting in relation to marketing my band and merch etc, I have done a number of marketing posts in this blog on how to help people market their band better on the web but I wanted to do something different with our webstore.

In essence I'm trying to integrate this blog our store, this will allow us to mider more about what we are upto and relate these to bits of merch and events that we have on our site.

You can do this using Java script widget which I use at the moment from https://www.rssinclude.com/ its free but allows me to fire info from here directly to www.sa-da-ko.com on any page I want. The bad news is that google will only read the widget code and not the information I have inputted in my blog, so in essence my blog is associated by link and not by content. its not bad but I want more google power!!!

So how do I embed this information, well Ive looked into a few options including a bit of code that I couldn't get my head round that embeds the RSS feed but I may have found the answer. if anyone has tried to do this before let me know.

My aim is to use an extension for opencart (our webstore platform) and use a blog extension this will give me what I need if I can just install the damn thing!!!

anyway I'm just hoping that I can move old articles from here over but if not I may end up getting all copy n pastey over the next year or so.

I don't know Im sharing this with you btw, I usually keep brain farts like this  to my self but as I'm reading up on blogs and things I thought I would contribute a bit of bullshit to cyber space. I may keep you updated on this or might just do what I was supposed to and keep this updated with band news hahah

New Sa-da-kO Merch

04/10/12 - Dark things that Rise from the Earth

OK, were reaching the final stages of mix with “Awakenings now. This has been a journey and a half for us and a bit of a long slog but we knew when we started this that we wouldn't release something we wouldn't be proud of. Not only have we been working on the album, we've managed to put together a whole plethora of band merch, booked gigs for the end of the year and started the ball rolling on a number of music video so the coming months are starting looking really exciting for us.

Anyway we are at Manchester tonight at Grand Central performing with the mentalists that are Footprints in the Custard and Boneyard then we will be heading over to the Alma Inn on Saturday to entertain the weekend warriors, I personally have been looking forward to playing that venue for ages so its going to be my treat.

Right I’m going to have to go cos I always seem to write these while I’m supposed to be at work haha, just one last thing though our web store over at www.sa-da-ko.com is now active and as I mentioned we are stocking it up at the moment so there are some pre-orders available and you can sign up etc, have a look and let me know what you think.
