Sick of Sarah
Hear it Now
There's nothing like the sanctuary of a MP3 player as you relax in your room or go for a run after school. Yet, do you feel like you are dying of playlist boredom once the headphones are on? Don't worry, there's a cure that will save your ears and bring back the peaceful bliss that is your music library.
Ailing iPod tunage, meet Sick of Sarah.
First and foremost, there's nothing mini about the five 20-somethings from Minneapolis. They're not only a handful, known for their energy and "general mischief," they also have vastly different tastes in music. With a punch of punk mixed with pop and rock, these four friends assembled SoS in 2005 and were later joined by their fifth member, Jamie Holm, a year later. Together, they make use of their eclectic music influences and entertain in a big way.
Not only are these ladies happy to be silly onstage, "we laugh at ourselves," said guitarist Jessie Farmer, after the show they love to "kick it, sign some autographs and give some hugs," said lead singer and guitarist, Abisha Uhl. Yet their friendliness and goofy behavior spreads beyond their shows. They're posting 100 videos for 100 days on MySpace, where fans can expect anything - from recording sessions, to trips in the tour van.
Sick of Sarah is on the road to music super stardom, literally and figuratively. The band spends a ton of time on road trips for their concert tour and won the first round of the Virtual Kaya Battle of the Bands. "It's always been a dream of mine to be a cyber person," joked Farmer. "When I was a young girl I wanted to be a Sim."
If you want to check them out for yourself - you may not have to wait long. Sick of Sarah is completely committed to the adventure of concert touring in all it splendor - meeting tons of fans and rocking out onstage - and challenges - taking turns driving and navigating through blizzards in their 15-person van.
There's no doubt that Sick of Sarah creates great music, but it's their confidence and fun spirit that will draw you in to SOS fandom. This, combined with their catchy ballads and fun punk riffs, makes Sick of Sarah the antidote to boring music and, quite possibly, your next favorite band.
