SUMO was a band from 1997 to 2007. Then, owing to diminished creative impetus and the mounting forces of entropy, it ended. No one was happy about it but that's just how things go sometimes. We all still get along and music is still being made, just under different guises.
If you want the corny, pathetic truth SUMO was about love the whole time: love of being swept up in the current of sound, love of the reciprocal energy between the stage and the crowd, love of friends, love of the people who gave us time, attention, effort and a place to be, love of trying to always do good work, love of what we learn and love of the most alive moments we can possibly manifest.
Today is July 24, 2008 and I am finally able to write this.
Damn, just saw this tonight. Will miss Sumo greatly, I remember the Hyannis show about 4-5 years ago with Locubro and others, great time. Also the Sandwich show where you scared the shit out of the then-owners and were banned, and also practicing with you guys in the same building in Chelmsford w/ my then-band Pure Fiction. Good times, and sorry to hear Sumo has ended. My Silence is the shit. Best to all of you.
hey guys, I need more info about you lot, just trying to put some info on last.fm, I'm fucking fed up, everytime I've been try to listen to you, some other shit group with the same name comes up!!! Or perhaps you can do it yourself, cheers!
"I didn't mean what I said about Worcester. It breaks my heart to even think about it, actually. Especially since The Deadites outlasted us. And yet Worcester's zombie problem persists. Tell me: are you actually going to make good on your claims and wipe them out, once and for all?"
