Sad Lovers & Giants

Sad Lovers & Giants are a rock band from Watford, England. 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 (vocals and saxophone), Tristan Garel-Funk (guitar), Tony McGuinness (also part of the dance act Above & Beyond) (guitar), Cliff Silver (bass), Ian Gibson (bass), David Wood (keyboards and saxophone), Juliet Sainsbury (keyboards), Will Hicks (keyboards) and Nigel Pollard (drums & percussion). The band has enjoyed a healthy cult status over three decades, from securing a John Peel Session in the 1980s to being invited to play the prestigious South By South West festival in 2016. The latter was during their first ever US tour, which culminated in a sold out show at LA Exchange. Their ninth album “Mission Creep” is due out on Halloween 2018, with UK and European dates planned in support of the release.
