SAD LOVERS AND GIANTS - Cowboys
Sad Lovers & Giants are a rock band from Watford, England who formed in 1980.[1] Their sound blends post-punk, atmospheric keyboards and psychedelia and the band has been described as "a pastoral Pink Floyd".
The band's members have included Garçe (Simon) Allard (vocals), Tristan Garel-Funk (guitar), Tony McGuinness (now part of the trance trio Above & Beyond) (guitar), Cliff Silver (bass), Ian Gibson (bass), David Wood (keyboards and saxophone), Juliet Sainsbury (keyboards), Nigel Pollard (drums & percussion) and Will Hicks (keyboards).
The original lineup produced two studio albums, Epic Garden Music (1982) and Feeding the Flame (1983), before splitting in 1983. During this initial period they recorded a John Peel Session for the BBC,[2] and a live concert for the Dutch Radio Hilversum station in 1983, which was subsequently released as the album Total Sound in 1986.[1] Live performances included headline dates at UK colleges and clubs with occasional trips to Europe, although they did support The Sound at a major London venue on the day Epic Garden Music entered the UK independent charts.
European interest in the band began to grow, and with the release of second album Feeding the Flame, they toured Germany and Holland, gaining a dedicated fanbase. Tensions within the band caused a split, with Garel-Funk and Pollard leaving to form The Snake Corps.
Not much was heard for a while; their label Midnight Music released a "mopping up" album, In the Breeze, in 1984, which included one of their previously unreleased signature tunes, "Three Lines".
They returned in 1986 with an updated lineup: Garce Allard (vocals), Nigel Pollard (drums), Tony McGuiness (guitar), Juliet Sainsbury (keyboards) and Ian Gibson (bass), and new album entitled The Mirror Test.[1]
As interest abroad grew, the band performed extensively in Holland, Spain and France, headlined at the old Marquee club in London's Soho, and with the release of their fourth album, Headland, were a featured band in Melody Maker. By this time prior bassist Cliff Silver had returned, replacing Gibson.

the most underrated band all times
JamesEbow Just discovered this band 👍

@@stephenroche5107 Ditto! I don't think they got any play in Canada and this was my genre so I should know it.
Jon Bettson Are they British.
@@stephenroche5107 Yes.
This band was "SO" alternative, they never stood a chance. Incredibly precious.
mmm, smells like 80's in this cold blue morning!
One of the best 80s underground bands.
Yes, it was called Underground then. Or "Alternative."
a hidden gem honestly
why they're so good? just why? I'm crying...
i cant stand how much i like that main riff
GREAT GUITAR PLAYER AND BASSIST !
Killer bass line
One of those bands that I can't believe I missed back in the day! The bass tracks on all their songs are just epic!
I'm a sucker for 80's dance moves.
nO KIDDING; SO AM EYE A; gRUMhOghr
I'm assuming you know Psychedelic furs pretty well.
They're laughable, but the music is amazing 👍
Only recently discovered SLAG. Big fan of the Chameleons and some similarities. I can't believe I went through the 80s without noticing them.
*I love these kind of videos from the 80s where the band plays in an alley or in a part of the city 💜🖤*
Yeah, me too. Adds a certain flavour to the piece. Especially now, 40 years later.
The sound of my lost youth, thanks for uploading this.
I cant put words at how i feel after all those year's listening to bands like slag!

Increíbles bandas UK entre 1975-1990 imbatibles! 😁🙏😉👏Lo mejor del rock moderno historia música. Y ahora tenemos el puto regetton y sonido latino. Es pa morirse...☹😔
I love having this song stuck in my head.
I saw them live in Paris in November 1988 supporting The ESSENCE..great souvenir...
I like post-punk, new wave, gothic rock, industrial metal, hard rock. This cool song
Saw them live in 1988 in Paris opening for the Essence ..still remember it !!!
*I love these kind of videos from the 80s with low color saturation* 🖤💜
Lovely sound and voice. I am from Peru and this is the first time I here SLAGl Amazing band.
Sorry. I should write SLAG.
vilma madeleine valverde nieto 👍💚

Jacqueline Iona it fuggin rocks!
I listen to Above & Beyond and was blown away when I discovered Tony McGuiness was in this band. I remember I loved listening to their song White Russians.
White Russians is my favorite SLAG song along with Lost in a Moment. By the way, Above & Beyond are great too:)
And who is brave? And who is strong? Love the lyrics
Esta banda é maravilhosa.
2021 carajo!! Y no se deja de escuchar esta rola tan chingona!
Si es verdad yo la pongo a todo volumen y se Sorprenden porque nos saben de música jajaja
Absolutamente genial !!! El bajo estratosferico, teclados, guitarra y voice rozando la excelencia, el "bataca" un makina...en fin, sound 80'S - 5 stars
What an amazing band they were, very underrated.

Enjoyed Sad Lovers and Giants, from to very long time. 🤔 Well i hope today i'm not young, but i still love those days. (Barcelona - CATALONIA)
me vacila como lo goza el guitarrista moviendo los hombros
Desde Valencia..... grandísima banda.Los he visto 2 veces y espero una tercera.Brutales-amazing...
'I totally missed out on this; listened to them on john peel back in the day; this has blown 😳 me away; brilliant bass 🔊 guitar; gonna track down their entire catalogue!
Sometimes I think there were so many great bands back then that you couldn't help having overlooked one's.
3:21 cool post-punk bass rythm
Wow, thank you for uploading this! For the first time I see Sad Lovers & Giants in real!
My radar missed these very very sad but good news i have discovered them now.

ΓΕΡΑΣΙΜΟΣ ΚΑΙΝ ΑΒΕΛ
Hilarious video and dance moves. Great music as usual. This band has no bad albums and is on par with the Chameleons.
Nunca voy a entender por qué está banda tiene pocos oyentes, ¡está cool!
Hay muchísimas bandas de goth y post punk que jamás consiguieron ser tan conocidas y más sin embargo, aún así son grandiosas bandas, como esta y otras más como Gene Love Jezebel, The Birthday Party, Virgin Prunes, UK Decay, Sex Gang Children, The Dance Society, Pink Turns Blue, Xmal Deutschland, Southern Death Cult (Antes de transformarse en The Cult), por poner algunos ejemplos.
Los he visto en directo 2 veces en València 2014-2017 y espero una tercera.Son maravillosos.
@@franlozada obrigada pelos exemplos... vou pesquisar. 🙂
Por qué desafortunadamente la mejor música es la menos escuchada, así de simple.
Los que escuchan bandas cómo estás somos afortunados.
En la lista de mis 5 bandas favoritas junto a snake corps y the sound
EXCELENTE !!! Todo
Gran grupo ochentero, no se como no son mas conocidos, en septiembre tendremos ocasion de verlos en Valencia, en 16 Toneladas, guau!
Muito fodasca 🙏👏uma das melhores bandas, esta no nivel do joy division e outras da elite de todos os tempos. Nao mim canso de ouvir .vivo nos anos 80 ate hoje.
A very cool band.
Dia 5 de Fevereiro teremos no Hard Club uma estreia em Portugal. Trata-se de mais uma banda lendária da genial década de 80.
Sad Lovers and Giants (UK) + Malcontent (PT) na abertura.
Espectacular
wow so fucking good
loads of 80s stuff today looks like theyre taking the piss out of the 80s.
In memory of Marcello RIP
Now Tony McGuiness is 1/3rd of Above & Beyond.
xOogieBoogie3x That’s all I know him as. I just discovered this, he still has some of the same dance moves! Love it
@@danielaupperle He still tours with this group, funnily enough.
It’s 12/27/22 and I heard this song on 90.3 Boston. Where the F have I been🤷♂️

Está banda es una joyita, me recuerda mucho a los redondos de oktubre
if only cherry red would have sent a showcase over to the states! SLAG, Eyeless In Gaza and a few others that never made it here!
in your dreams!
totally..Slag and E.I.G. are excellent bands..they should've been bigger in the states...i loved SLAG from their days with the Midnight Music label..but also liked EIG, particularly because of ''sweet life longer''
this is frickin' kickin'
Sad Lovers And Giants.
Porto on Friday 5th February 2016 Hard Club, Praça do Infante.
Above & Beyond needs to do a remix on this track
Una de las mejores bandas de los 80 para mi , Espectacular sonido, escuchar " The snake corps" es otro grupo pero tocan varios de Sad Lovers & Giants, su tema "This is a Seagull" fue todo un himno en Valencia(España).Junto al tema "The things we never did" de Sad Lovers & Giants.
Si, The Snake corps tambien!
Verdadero es Magnífico
Snake corps grupaso con su album flesh on felsh
Quality....😎👌🏼
2023, 1983, - glad I found SLAG at 62 in 2023!
I saw them at the Marquee ;)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel as though in an alternate timeline these guys could have been as or more popular than the Smiths
the best
