“When Sage is on stage
there’s no way you’re not
captivated; this band always
gives an excellent spectacle
(that being the key word to
describe them) and tonight
wasn’t the exception.” - Panda Collective
“Their live show was, perhaps,
the most avant-garde, and with
that aftertaste of tearing one’s
sanity apart and being the
breaking point in terms of sound
proposals. Truly, these guys (and
gals and guys/gals) are terrific
onstage. In other words, a
visceral, cinematic and theatrical
art-rock portent; as if a happening
of unexpected fury would crush
our ears.” - Nine Fiction
“This project’s concept is one
of the most newfangled I’ve
seen in the local scene [...].” - Tragos de Rock
