SAD DAY FOR PUPPETS
It is as simple as this... Are you into wall of guitars, waves of voices, bombastic heartbreaks and sobbing...
...then we are indeed a friend.

Sad Day For Puppets was formed in 2006 in Blackeberg, a suburb to Stockholm (Sweden), by Martin Källholm, guitarist and songwrit...er. The natural focal point of the band is singer Anna Eklund, in it's turn leaning on Marcus Sandgren's ringing and fuzzy chords.

Most of the bands influences can be traced back to the early nineties, when they all were teenagers. This period has made it’s mark on the band. The guitars are once again allowed to roam free and shine. The music is all about shimmering layers of guitars, intertwined feedback melodies all dreamy and grand and sad, and ethereal harmony vocals.

The band started working on the debut album as soon as “Just Like a Ghost EP” ( april 2008) was out, and this time the guitars have an even more prominent place in the over all sound. There's guitar feedback, fuzzy distortion and big harmonies working as a fond for the voice of Anna.

Just like any other album released by HaHa FONOGRAM ”Unknown Colors” has a patron saint, this time it is the new friend, Dan Treacy (Television Personalities). Previous releases was given the honor to have names as Mike Always (el records) and Bertrand Burgalat (Tricatel).

SAFE AS HOME (from Paris): A brief review of Safe As Home debut album, 'Not What Happens': "Composed of 11 tracks, it plays like a flow of disconnected memories, a random series of photo slides projected through the distortionary lens of long-lost childhoods or uncertain futures. From raging guitar epics to delicate, fleeting moments of introspective electronics, it is an album of fertile contradictions.
Pop-song structure persistently competes with gritty texture. Soaring melodies are overwhelmed and lost in phases of intense sonic density. Suspended synth and vocal lines are set against grinding riffs and noise, in bittersweet moments of dream versus reality."

THE ART OF GIG CANCELING part 2
So it's pretty obvious that the adverse weather conditions were responsible for Tuesday's gig being canceled. We get the feeling it could have gone ahead as planned with a little more love for... risk-taking and gambling, but hey, we're not blaming anyone for what happened.
We have a tendency for wanting our music to do the talking for us, so this second blog post in a matter of a few days feels kinda weird. It's almost like the real thing, regular posting to keep the website hits and fan interest high... Does that sound cynical....?
We'd thus like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's given us their feedback on the album, and everyone who's bought it so far! We're currently running low on the initial pressing of the CD, and that makes us very happy, in a tingling, reassuring kinda way.

RE: THE ART OF GIG CANCELING...

"Hi all,

We're very sorry if anyone turned up to see us play at Barden's Boudoir this Tuesday Feb 3rd; you obviously didn't get the news that the gig had been canceled earlier on in the afternoon.

This was done for reasons beyond our control, and somewhat beyond our comprehension.

We're ver...y disappointed and frustrated.

We plan to return soon.

I'll write more when I get home... tobecontinued.

Take care,
