Sada

Formed in late 2002 using the time honoured tradition of harvesting members from the corpses of local bands, Aylesbury's Sada set out on the road to heavy metal stardom with naught but gay abandon and a handful of their favourite albums.

Eager to please, the three piece devoted their time to writing new material and gigging.

Happy that it wasnt their band that scored a review of 2/5 for the resulting performance at Donnington, Sada returned to the simple life they had known before their brief fumble with success and continued pestering promoters up and down the country.
