Video Release Party at Beat Kitchen
   That's right. We made a movie. Only it's really short and set to a song. Okay, it's a music video. But it's awesome, and you can be the first to see it on Friday, July 13th at a special video release show featuring The Warm Ones (Tony Sackett's new band), The Red Light Runners from St. Louis, and Modern Skirts from Athens, GA. It's going to be a great show. Come help us celebrate and drink to the folks who made it happen - Jeff Hadick and Todd Tue of Milk Products Media.

Quotes

"The Saps' forthcoming LP has roots in alt-country of the energetic sort, as if Wilco recorded A.M. on a sugar high and proceeded to invite Stephen Malkmus over for a havoc-wreaking play-date."
Spin.com

"Clever pop. Very impressive."
USA Today

"Chicago’s The Saps have made one heck of a record with 'C’mon Already, Start A Fire.' The band hits a home run lyrically as well as musically. Hope The Saps have their suitcases packed, because they’ve made a thoroughly enjoyable album that deserves national attention."
