Kingston, Ontario by Marc Garniss, Ben Thomas and Kelly Payne.

Biography

After numerous line-up changes, I Hate Sally finally had a consistent and solid line-up, this being Marc Garniss, Ben Thomas, Nick Steczkiewicz and Dan Vokey. With this line-up they started touring and writing songs that would later be released on I Hate Sally's 2004 debut "Sickness of the Ages". 2005 brought the return of former bassist Dee Prescott back on for vocal duties. With Dee in the line-up, I Hate Sally began recording an EP entitled "The Plague" which was also released in 2005 on Dogbus Music in Lindsay, Ontario. Both "Sickness of the Ages" and "The Plague EP" were recorded at Pappa D's studio in Trenton, Ontario. In late 2005 Ben Thomas left the band after having issues with the band members. After Ben's departure, I Hate Sally considered starting a new band with the 4 remaining members, but instead decided to continue on as a four-piece I Hate Sally. In early 2006 the band started writing all new material for their second full-length album. In the spring of 2006 "Don't Worry Lady" was recorded. After the album was recorded drummer Nick Steczkiewicz left the band to pursue other options. He was replaced by current drummer Mark McGee. Toronto based label Underground Operations signed I Hate Sally in the fall of 2006 and this was followed by the long awaited release of "Don't Worry Lady". On June 12th, 2007 Vagrant/Density Records released "Don't Worry Lady" in the USA and on October 1st, 2007 it will be released on Vagrant Records in the UK. On December 11th, 2007 I Hate Sally and Quebec metal giants GFK joined forces to release a 6 song split EP. On July 10th 2008, the band officially announced that they had disbanded permanently.

Trivia

*I Hate Sally no longer performs any songs predating the album "Don't Worry Lady". This is due to the fact that once Ben Thomas had left, the rest of the band felt that their older songs wouldn't sound right with only one guitar player. Also, the band states that even if another guitar is added one day, they still will not play anything old live due to how much their sound has changed.
