The Countdown - 1 days left til the last SABATTA gig of 07, Fri 30 Nov@The Mother Bar!

It's very, very exciting! The gig at the Mother Bar is tomorrow and I can't wait!! nolt gonna stay on this long - let's keep it simple eh?

Here is "You" - (it's so short i've posted the whole tune!) a rarely played gem that will be played a lot more often from now on! The song was written in a fit of rage - the lyrics are self explanatory - sometimes you just gotta let out! Then we have "Burnt" from the Princes Raw album! This song is about doing things you know you shouldn't and paying the price for it.

You - full song - from Princess Raw Album
Burnt - snippet - from Princess Raw Album

Tomorrow is gonna be CRAZY!!

The Countdown - 2 days left til the last SABATTA gig of 07, Fri 30 Nov@The Mother Bar!

Ah I remember this gig! It was Hugo's first i think! Anyway we were at the Fly - an intimate little venue on Oxford Street, London.

I'm not sure what i'm doing in this pic but I'm probably getting my "guitar" out! Not adjusting my fly.

Anyways here's some more music for you lucky bastards! it's Guillotine - a crowd favourite! it's about the fame game - the old build you up to tear you down thing! It's ROCKS!

Here's a video of it from the last gig!

The Countdown - 3 days left til the last SABATTA gig of 07, Fri 30 Nov@The Mother Bar!

Hey there!

It’s a late update this morning (ok it’s almost the afternoon)! To be honest I refuse to get up at the crack of dawn every morning that just wouldn’t be rock ‘n’ roll! But as a bonus I’m uploading a few gems! Ok first we have “Raw” which despite being part of the album title “Princess Raw” it never actually made it to the album – go figure cos it’s a banger! It’s a great tune and we’ll be playing it on Friday.

Next we have a tune called “Love Like a nervous breakdown” – it’s a true story about a particular relationship I had with a certain girl anyway you see Bob Marley next to me in the picture and though song is NOT reggae at all it’s just got that kind of mellow vibe and it's acoustic, with percussion! (damn it was GROOVY that day)

Yeah it’s a raw/mellow day today!

Raw - Snippet - unreleased
Love Like A Nervous Breakdown - full - unreleased

The Countdown - 4 days left til the last SABATTA gig of 07, Fri 30 Nov@The Mother Bar!

Hi!
Greetings from the world's first drummer/guitarist!!

So the gig fast approaches! I'm hyped about it and in that spirit here's another little snippet! this song is called Now U Know - from the Princess Raw Album - available from Sabatta.net. it`'s quiet, peaceful, serene - some nice easy listening I'm sure you'll agree:

SABATTA - Now U Know - snippet

I'm enjoying Monday morning soooo much!!

The Countdown - 5 days left til the last SABATTA gig of 07, Fri 30 Nov@The Mother Bar!

OI!!! LISTEN!

Ok, ok. I WAS gonna put some shit up yesterday BUT life happened (Camden - Alcohol, it's all BAD - bad meaning good!) Anyway it's Sunday eve and I am back in the building!! FUCK YES!

Today i have for you a snippet of a little tune that may end up on the next SABATTA album, we may very well play on Friday - hey it's a surprise fuckers!

It's a tune called Stop Start - we play it from time to time when we're felling energetic! It's our drummer Oli's favourite tune - so if you read this and you come down (stranger things have happened!) shout out his name and request it - he will be VERY grateful!

SABATTA - Stop Start - snippet - unreleased

It's been special!

The way we were!! - Week 1 - Part 3

Please don't tell me I'm getting the hang of this shit!! That is too scary! It's like invasion of the Body snacthers - the whole world turns into internet geeks!
Ok for my next trick (it's funny cos you're really talking to yourself on these things, anyhoo!) I'm going to upload another bit of audio - yeah i like to mix it up a bit - this time it's a tune we play quite frequently at shows but until recently we played it TOO fast (thanks for sorting that out Oli). So here is the studio recorded version - which is a good speed but half the speed of some of the live versions we did back in the day - ADRENALIN - it's a helluva drug!!

WANNAKNOW - Studio version.

Big Y signing the fuck off!!

The way we were!! - Week 1 - Part 2

Back up in this mother!!!

Ok this time it's a video! the gloriously, glorious MINDFUCK!!
Yes the line up's different – hey that’s how it goes in the land of no nose! I jest – but yeah I remember this gig – there was another group Mad dog on that night that got a little flava to (big up mad dog wherever ur barking at!)

It was the time of twin guitars a-go-go!

MINDFUCK – Live at the Hope & Anchor, Islington, London -140606

So prizes to anyone who can tell me who the dudes on my left and right are. This knowledge depends on how long you've been a Sabatta fan!!
