Sativa are pleased to announce the appointment of a new drummmer, in the from of Rob Lewis, 26 from York. At his audition, Rob impressed the band far more than any of the other applicants, and was invited to join the band. Look out for Sativa gigs in the near future, with a few oldies, and plenty of new stuff. The website will be updated when I have full details, maybe the ever elusive new look for the website will make an appearance.

Sativa are sad to announce that Chris, Sativa's drummer has departed the band as he has moved away from Hull as work prospects beckoned. As I'm sure you can all imagine, the rest of the band, and friends who knew Chris, are well and truly gutted about this. The band intend to carry on right where they left off, with offers of higher profile gigs and growing media interest in the band. Also, I would like to add that the Rich, Steve and Alex remain fully committed to Sativa. We are now advertising for a replacement for Chris, so if anyone is interested, or knows anyone who would be interested, please get in touch by clicking here or via the contacts page. All applicants must be able to play to an excellent standard.

Sativa's next gig is to be in association with Viking and Kerrang! radio stations. Held on the 6th April at the Adelphi (Hull) with support from Blind Frog Ernie and Displacements. Check back soon for more details as they are confirmed, this one definately promises to be a good night.

Unfortunately Scenes have been forced to pull out of the upcoming gig at the Adelphi (09th March), Sativa have now confirmed they are to headline the gig with support from Le Shed and Displacements.

As you all should know, Sativa's debut EP - Understanding Coma is now available to buy at all Sativa Shows, priced £4. For alternate arrangements for a copy, please email us from the contact page.
As planned it features the tracks Karma Kill, Petrol in the Garden and Narcolepsia. Sales are going well at present, and so it shouldnt be too long before the second release from Sativa.
The band will have a couple of new numbers for you over the next run of gigs, which once again promise to become regulars in the set. Also in the pipeline is a brand new Sativa website, which is currently in the planning stages, but promises much more in the way of interactivity.
Check out the gigs page for all the up-coming shows, particularly the support for Scenes, who's last gig was one that anyone who saw it, was not to be missed. And secondly, Sativa are once again to play in support of Fulc, later in April.

After an initial setback for the recording, Sativa are back on track and are recording this week. Their debut 3 track EP will feature Karma Kill, Narcolepsia and Petrol in the Garden.

I has come to our attention that another band, based in Lincolnshire has begun using the name Sativa. We would like to point out that we are in no way connected with this other band. Please check on the gigs page before attending any gigs as there has already been some confusion. Currently Sativa are in discussion with legal advisors and are hoping to bring this dispute to a swift conclusion.
