Sad Lovers & Giants are a rock band from Watford, England who formed in 1981. 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), 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) and Nigel Pollard (drums & percussion).
The original lineup produced two studio albums, Epic Garden Music and Feeding the Flame, but split up in 1983 on the verge of commercial success. During this initial period they recorded a John Peel Session for the BBC and a live concert for the Dutch Radio Hilversum station, which was subsequently released as the album Total Sound. Initially, live performances included mainly headlining 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 the second album, Feeding the Flame, they toured in Germany and Holland, gaining a dedicated fan base. Artistically, Feeding the Flame is considered to be their finest work and hints at a potential that could have elevated them to the status of contemporaries such as The Chameleons, The Cocteau Twins and Modern English. But tensions within the band caused a complete disintegration, with Garel-Funk and Pollard leaving to form The Snake Corps.
