We call it an archive, or a directory, and sometimes "Shaun's little project", yet since it began, a small but committed team of volunteers lead by Shaun Antler (long time citisen Journalist), has worked hard to transform three years of telephone conversations, hundreds of hours of internet research, and uncounted email messages into this still growing collection of multi-media portfolios. However, it wasn't long into the project before something became obvious, this archive was no longer just a simple a list of band names.
Our collaborators are invaluable, and we haven't even scratched the surface of what they have already contributed. Some of them have been working on this stuff for years, and are dedicated to documenting things like who recorded what, where things happened, listings of sound engineers, studios, backup singers, dates, and all the rest ... it takes a long time, and we can't express enough, the credit they deserve.
Whenever possible, we also encourage artists to manage their own content, by logging in and updating accounts for themselves. Just log in to the site using your email!
We hope you enjoy what has been assembled so far. and have fun exploring the Sault's ever changing music scene - past and present.
