Influences
70s and 80s punk (like bad brains, sex pistols, husker du, adolescents, descendents, doughboys, dag nasty, zero boys, shudder to think, minor threat) mixed with 80s and early 90s indie (like my bloody valentine, guided by voices, sonic youth, dinosaur jr., built to spill) intertwined with 60s pop (like the beatles, zombies, animals, motown) all combined with our great contemporary bands (jawbreaker and green day for example). We have never fit in with what is going on though...and never will...shit!

throughout the 90s, this band rocked out album after album and tour after tour. In 2000, they released their 6th full-length album, Astray, and did several tours of America and then Canada before abruptly calling it quits. But in the years to come, they got so many tour offers that when they turned down 90% of them, they still managed to tour Europe 3 times and then South America...so they were basically in this 'weird-hiatus-like' state.
the band regrouped in fall 2005 and on september 26th will be releasing our 7th album, 'whatever's got you down.' 12 songs we put alot of love and work into, hope you like it. we also hope to see you on tour then, please keep an eye out for tour dates, because we will be going everywhere.
for a real detailed, tedious history of the band's activities (for example: as ridiculous as it sounds: Green Day, No Doubt, Offspring and Blink 182 all opened for Samiam!) please go here: www.gosamgo.com or www.samiam.de
I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO YOU GUYS SINCE YOU WERE ON THE HARD CORE USA ALBUM. MY ROOMATE WHO WAS SINGING FOR BOY SETS FIRE LENT ME THE ALBUM AND I HAVE BEEN A FAN EVER SINCE.
WITHOUT BEING WEIRD (MUCH) YOU ARE THE NEAREST THING TO ME IN A PHYSIOLOGICAL WAY (SPELT WRONG AND I DUNNO IF THATS THE RIGHT WORD) BUT LYRICALLY YOU TOUCH EVERY FUCKING NERVE AND SO I ACTUALLY LIKE YOU A LOT X
i tried to see you live 3 times in WisconSIN back in the mid 90's and every time my car broke down.. i think i am cursed.. mad love for the music though.
so, i hear from a friend of mine that samiam will be in htown sometime in september or october??? what's the scoop? i haven't seen samiam since 1993 or so. heck, i even have the show on video somewhere.
