AS OF JUNE 2008, FADE TO SEPIA WILL NO LONGER BE. OUR LAST SHOW IN THIS FORM WILL BE JUNE 7TH, THE MEDIA ASSASSIN CLUBNIGHT AT THE ACTRESS AND BISHOP IN BIRMINGHAM.
THERE ARE SOME OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN REALLY GREAT, AND HOPEFULLY WE’LL SEE YOU ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THERE WILL STILL BE THINGS GOING .. WE COLLAPSE, SO KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED.
THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT.
We’re Fade to Sepia.
We like Joy Division, the Wipers, NoMeansNo and anything that sounds like it was forged with sense of urgency and desperation, because we feel the same. We write music to march to, to burn to, to dance to. Becauses simply we couldn’t do anything else. This is the way we are.
Since September 2005 we’ve played shows up and down the country and along the way we’ve been lucky enough to share a stage with some really great bands. We will continue to play so long as blood pumps through our veins.
And... of course... there’s the Solvent Jitterbug...

Just a quick THANK YOU for last night! Hopefully people didn't mind our little laidback "duelling banjos" set too much. haha. I couldn't see anything with the light in my eyes (the sunglasses didn't help abit) but it felt pretty empty out there! We had fun though. You guys kicked ass!!! I hope you don't bang your head on the stage like that every gig though! SHIT Very cool but don't make me worry for your safety! haha
Ah well I didn't know F2S was dissolving. Have you got a new name yet? If you do come on the 24th I'll let you sign your name on my guitar playing hand and I will wave it around at frequent intervals! xxx
Got a gig Thursday the 24th April at the Bar Academy - probably the last one we're doing for a while as things are shifting around and getting ready to record an EP. I bought a xylophone it is a work of smashingness! Ta for wearing the badge, have to get some sort of Sepia related item to wear from you at some point.
YOU'LL BE MISSED!! courage Kapitan is about my favourite song right now..I've seen the whole world die in uniform...fucking class! Hope you keep doing stuff though chaps, be a traversty if you didnt. freddie
