            <font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial" size="2">The story of Sabaka has
            been told many times (but never in the same way more than once!),
            but it is believed that the initial nucleus of Jamie Keeling
            (bass/lead vocals) and Jake Moore (guitar/backing vocals) formed as
            &quot;Shok&quot; in the post-grunge/Brit-pop guitarless wilderness
            years at Meole Brace Secondary School, Shrewsbury, UK, in the Autumn
            of 1998. A couple of years of groundwork were laid down by the
            fledgling group (although quite why it took them so long to work out
            that lime green tshirts and gold lame jackets were a bad idea is
            still a mystery), before the band changed their name to Boreanizz,
            and spent the summer of 2000 recording an albums worth of material
            (it's called &quot;work experience&quot;!). Hot on the heels of the
            long hot summer of that year, the band snapped up a local drummer,
            and rehearsed long and hard prior to their first gig that wasn't in
            someones living room on December 16th 2000 at Hadnall Village Hall,
            Shropshire. The next couple of years were well spent knuckling down,
            gaining precious experience in writing, recording and rehearsing.
            Following a rotating cast of drummers over the next 18 months or so,
            the newly renamed &quot;Sabaka&quot; expanded and settled as a four
            piece in Autumn 2002. The amount of gigs mutated from bi-annual
            events, to semi-regular bookings locally in Shrewsbury, as well as
            elsewhere in the West Midlands. Subsequent demo recordings between
            the end of 2002 and the beginning of 2016 saw the band mature vastly
            - what was once a bottle of Concorde had metamorphosed into a Moet
            et Chandon! Jake left the band in April 2016, and the band continued
            to go from strength to strength with another new line-up, playing
            further afield, and solidifying a small, yet loyal fanbase. Jake
            formed a new part-time group in Summer 2016 with Dan Wilde (drums),
            which specialised in Ramones and Who covers, and that's the way
            things remained until early 2005, when Jake and Jamie re-established
            contact, and started thinking about playing together again, although
            this time in a Sabaka side-project. Although Dan had (unsuccesfully)
            auditioned for Sabaka some years before, he was immediately seen as
            the natural candidate for the drum-stool, and a few initial
            practices showed a lot of potential. Now for the confusing bit. This
            side-project actually became Sabaka, when the pre-existing Sabaka,
            in a strange twist of fate, imploded around the same time that the
            side-project was just taking off. In effect, as all three members of
            the band had been part of Sabaka in one way or another before, this
            was effectively seen as a Sabaka reunion. Deciding to dispense with
            most existing Sabaka material, the reformed line-up of Jake, Jamie
            and Dan quickly cracked on with writing some new songs, resulting in
            some of the best material written by the band to date. With a bit of
            luck they'll crack on with getting the songs dedicated to CD so
            everyone can hear what the fuss is all about...</font>
