[edit] Biography
sally was formed in 2003 by Charlie Deets and Melissa Neis. The two had formerly been romantically involved. Jeff Shafar later joined the band on drums. Neither Melissa nor Jeff had any formal training on their respective instruments prior to the band's formation.
Recording their first album at Gravity Studios in Chicago, Illinois, the band met Mark Berlin, an engineer who later joined the band as a second guitarist.
After a series of drummer changes and EPs, the band recorded their second full length album with Nick Smalkowski on drums called Long Live the New Flesh, released on Paribus Records in June 2007.
Most of their artwork has been done by Melissa Neis and the majority of their recordings by Mark Berlin.
