about
Dead Sara is an American alternative rock band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2002, the band currently consists of Emily Armstrong, Siouxsie Medley and Sean Friday. Best known for their single "Weatherman" from their debut eponymous album Dead Sara; they released their second album, Pleasure to Meet You, in 2015. They signed with Atlantic Records in 2017, and released an EP, Temporary Things Taking Up Space in 2018. Armstrong and Medley met through a mutual friend in 2002, at ages 16 and 15 respectively. The pair began writing songs together in 2003, and in 2004 completed their first studio recording with the song "Changes". Their first live performance as a band was in March 2005 at The Mint nightclub in Los Angeles, with Armstrong playing bass. Having briefly gone by the name Epiphany, in mid-2005 they changed their name to Dead Sara as a reference to the Fleetwood Mac song "Sara" and its lyric "...said Sara", which the band misheard as "dead Sara". Both Armstrong and Medley have publicly cited Stevie Nicks, the singer and writer of the song "Sara", as a primary influence. Around this time Medley began styling her first name as "Siouxsie", as a nod to the Sioux Indians tribe and the Native American heritage of one of her great-grandparents (rather than a reference to the musical artist Siouxsie Sioux). In 2007, Dead Sara began their first tour as the opening act for Endless Hallway. They released the six-song EP The Airport Sessions on Viscount Records in 2008. Aft
