This is fantastic news both on the gig and a potential new album. I wish I could go, but living in Melbourne prohibits that. Are there any plans for the band to record and release the gig via the website. I know I would gladly pay for the download, CD & DVD if possible.
Dear Garth!
Once again I need to notice you had a few gigs in spain! My big problem is : Spain is really far away from Germany!
Will there be any chance to see you someday in Germany?
Will there be any new music from you someday? Will there be a chance to get a copy of "MELTING IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME" somewhere?!
Maybe dire more…
My vote would be to rerelease Total Sound, maybe together with In The Breeze. But also am very sad that the newest albums dissappeared before I had a chance to grab them! more…
Slag Hi, I'm your fan for many years, I
like to know if you want to play in Spain, we saw in Valencia
For many years, I think that in 87, I have all
your records and I would like to see again, I will
Tenet luck? more…
Thanks Garce for the constant updates...wish I could have been there for the shows, but alas I left Vicenza 14 years ago but I will ask my cousin to see your gig in Athens...I know there is no chance the band will tour Australia (I'm in Melbourne), so I will take your advice and continue to find Sad Lovers and Giants in the music and create my own more…
Go with the positive feelings. Going into something feeling negative or slightly worried about it will only make something bad happen, well I'm not sure if this is true or not but it's a nice thought that if you feel good then good things happen. more…
it is really good to see that Cherry Red are going to re-release "Epic Garden Music" soon. I've been a fan since the late 90s and the original early CD's are costing a fortune on eBay. Hopefully the other albums will be re-released, too. (Especially "The Mirror Test", "House Of Clouds" being one of my all-time-favourites.) more…
We are hoping to play in Italy sometime 10th, 11th, 12th April 2008 with one gig in Rome and another somewhere else. Thanks for your support.

Oh Garce you are the best singer in the world, and SLAG the best band obviously!! I'm courious to know if any videoclip exists.
Well, come in Italy again please!
Roma Loves you.
hi there Garce,
it's been almost a year now since we last heard of you...please please don't keep us waiting any longer...will there be any sign of life from you?????
Great SLAG! I have all your CDs, I consider you one of my favourite bands! Maybe MY favourite band! Not well known, but I am proud to recommend friends listening your music: it is always a great success! I am Italian, and I lost your concerts in 2003...I am very...sad for that! I considered you lost in my memories (and in my CDs), and I didn't know more…
Good news to hear that you are trying to reform. I must have seen you live over 20 times in the eighties, various venues (a few pubs in london and watford etc)
whats Mr Garel-Funk up to these days? any chance of getting him involved? or is that a delicate subject?
Hey Garce. I'm 13 and I wasn't alive at anytime the band was really together. SLAG is very dear to me and I'd love to hear anything new. Any gigs in the U.S at any time? please come to Chicago. ciao more…
HELLO SLAG FANS IN FRANCE ( we are much more than expected ! )
Just a comment from another french fan : SLAG were may be under-rated in the first half of the eighties but were more and more known thanks to OUI FM ( " free radio " at this time in Paris that programmed SLAG songs such as "clocktower lodge" and "Cuckooland") in early 1987 more…
I for one would welcome new material from the Sad Lovers and Giants. I have been a listener since about 1984. Would absolutely love some new material. Come and reconquer the USA! more…
Hello Garce and SLAG members,
I listen to SLAG since the mid-eighties, I love the "Curish" coldness of "Epic garden..." and the lyrical "Morrissey" vocal work on some "Mirror test" songs... Sadly, I think you were underratted in France in the 80's, even if at the time Midnight Music was very well distributed in our Record shops. NOw it is ver more…
Me and some of my mates at the time would follow SLAG around various pub gigs in London in the 1980's and finally my mate Neil,from a band called Way of the West got us some free tickets to see you, I think,at The Venue if i remember correctly.
I work in a busy,noisy,factory now and although officially we are not allowed to listen to music i more…

Hello Garce, SLAG & the faithful,
