Alas...Alex has left us. Our favorite acoustic hero has been called to action in Central America for an undetermined length of time. His dedication to all that is rock has forever changed the face of Sid and Fancy and will live on in our hearts and our music for much time to come. Alex, we wish you the most amazing adventures and extend an open invitation to grace our stage in the future!
Do not despair, ye of much hope and joy, we march on! Tunes are already taking shape and a new dawn of musical adventure lies on the impending horizon, shedding it's shadowy forms and taking shapes that will astound and amaze! Transitions are a time of reflection and growth and we hope both of those will lead us to a place of greater musical fellowship, harder rocking, and more great friends and collaborators.
For now...
Sid and Fancy
NEW CD!

Folk life recap
Well, we don't do too well at getting all our thanks out after every weekend on the road but this last weekend was so much fun, with lots of great folks helping us along so here we go.
All around, HUGE thanks to Katie for coming out with us for the first time and cleaning out our shot glass and CD supplies, not to mention keeping a careful eye on s&f finance. Kate, Lindsay, as always, thanks so much for being you, for being up front or at our backs looking out for us and taking great photos.
Thanks to the folks who came out to the Glo Loca. That was a new bar for us and we were thrilled with the raucous response. As always, we had a blast with the Potato Famine boys and loved the shit out of Absent Minds. Thanks to Ben, too, for making it out to that show.
Of course, thanks a TON to the My Life crew and the friendly *staff* at the Whispering Spur (that's you Falco) for providing a space and drunken commradarie as well as for keeping half of us up until 8am. What a great way to head to kick off.
Folk Life was a freaking rip. Chervona, and Rum Rebellion, as always, were great to see and better to hear. Thanks to all those who stuck around despite the frightening turn and especially to those drunken and dancing up front. This show was HUGE and we had more fun than you all know.
Thanks to Rob from Williston for coming out and the fellahs from Meisce for making the trip over to see us. Travis, you drunken bastard, thanks for smuggling the goods and sharing the wealth, and for rockin boat times.
Of course NO trip to Seattle would be complete without a huge shout to the Hanta House crew. Iko, Jenna, Don, THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU for your second-to-none hospitality. Thanks for coffee, breakfast, wall videos, beer, liquor, pickle ball, bocci, shouts at shows, and all around good naturedness. You are a rare breed of people and it does all of us good whenever we cross paths.
Last, thanks to Josh, Casey, and Jon from Oswald Effect for coming down and checking us out as well, emphasis to J-man for another great (tho brief) conversation. We look forward to your next trip to EUGENE *cough*.
Probably a million others, know weekends like this leave us sore, exhausted, unclean, and thrilled. Thanks to all you who made it work.

Folk life!
Hey gang,
S&F is hitting the road this weekend for a tour de force that won't stop until Seattle has burned to the ground.
We start the weekend Friday night at a new bar in an old stomping ground, Portland OR.
The Glo Loca Bar is the place, we'll tear down the building with our good pals from Salem, Potato Famine, and play for the first time with Portland based Absent Minds.
We'll keep the Anti-Chrysler caravan pointed North and Saturday night we'll be finishing out the night on the Fountain Lawn Stage at the Northwest Folklife Festival benefit. This show is FREE BITCHES so if you live in Sea Town there is NO excuse! We play right after those Irish destroyers from Portland Rum Rebellion who take the stage at 7:35pm.
WE WILL HAVE OUR NEW CD, BARRELHOUSE ANGELINAS, FOR SALE AT FOLKLIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not even 'officially' available yet so think about how COOL you'd be if you showed up with one before our release party. Your friends would just DIE.
We finish ransacking Seattle with the crazy bastards from Chervona over at The Bit Saloon. The show also features the musical mussings of Verona so don't miss it!
Should be a hoot we hope to see all our good friends from the northerly tributaries of our beloved I-5!

Album...
Is done being mixed.
Damn straight bitches there are 10 studio recorded mixed tracks that we are all proud as hell of.
You can hear everyone, you can turn that shit up, as soon as we wrap up post-pro.
Stay tuned, thanks for your patience. We can't wait to show off what we've been working on for 3 years now.
A huge thanks to Bill Barnett at Gung Ho Studios here in Eugene. He is a consumate professional who knows how to preserve happy mistakes and creative fluidity while at the same time scrutinizing and improving all we do. This man is worth every penny.

GUNG HO!
S&F are back in the studio once again and this time we’re playing with the big kids.
We’ve had some great past experiences with our pal Geoffrey at Soaring Heart but our 3,000 instruments were pretty snug in his cozy little studio. So we’ve headed out to SW Eugene to meet up with Billy at his spacious and super-pro Gung Ho studios.
We have 7 songs put together with 3 more to record and all to mix. Super excited about the new album..all this room and expertise is finally giving us the sound we’ve been hoping for since we started this cadre back in 2004. Stay tuned for NEW MUSIC!

SAINT FREAKIN PADDY'S DAY!
Well it's been about a score or so...time to update the blog.
The main reason is to plug the up and coming, Sid and Fancy St. Pat's Tour...OF FURY.
We're rolling out for 3 shows over the St. Pat's weekend and that means it's almost certain we're in a town near you. We kick off, Friday night, up in the P-Town with our favorite boozers at the Bitter End. Joining us are the incomperable WAGES OF SIN and the brawlers from Meisce. Both bands bring more Irish swagger than a Boston lager fest so get there early and bring your boots.
Saturday sees our happy band of travelers head north to the Sea Town to pick a fight with the folks at the Sunset tavern. Once again, The Wages of Sin are to blame for bringing our crass-roots blast furnace to town and we couldn't be prouder to stand by their side. Headlining the night? Seattle's own The Bad Things It will be all sorts of noise and crowd so get to there even if your mom says no.
We top off the weekend (or kick off the week depending on how you look at it) with a St. Pat's fracas right here in Eugene with our good friends down at Luckey's Club and Cigar Store. We had more fun than you can imagine last year and this year promises to be even better. Sharing the stage will be local boys and our new friends, Starboard Morning.
It's going to be a long, drunken, and weary road but it's our favorite time of year. Come on out and while your head may split come Tuesday we promise you'll be smiling as you chug the pepto.
