sally's Final Show At Empty Bottle
Bands come, bands go. Some die, some are killed, some commit suicide. What the case is with sally, who will play their final show tonight at the Empty Bottle, is still a mystery. In an email sent out to their fans just 6 days prior to the show, sally offers up sentiments on their ending, but no one's words seem to point to reasons except for frontman and founder Charlie Deet's explanations. In the literary email Deets offers up that he felt it was time to move on and explore new musical avenues. Deets is an artistic mastermind - photographer, musician and label head - so we look forward to his future. But as for now we're forced to mourn a band that had the mark of emerging greatness. sally began their musical magic in early 2004 and brought a raw, but dynamic self-titled debut months after forming. With an two E.P.'s in the next two years sally's sound smoothed out from it's hectic beginnings. This past spring sally released their sophomore full length, Long Live The New Flesh finding the band merging moods fused together perfectly. Despite a sporadic show schedule, sally slowly built a dedicated fanbase with vigorous and vibrant concerts. Sadly the final show has arrived. There are no words for the end of something that seemed to be just starting. Mustering up a thank you and remember what was might be all there is to do.
