Sado-Domestics is the singing-songwriting partnership of Boston-based multi-instrumentalists Chris Gleason (Los Goutos, Noise Floor Delirium) and Lucy Martinez (Lucy and the Dreamers). Their music is an acoustic-leaning blend of folk, roots, and rock music, with an emphasis on vocal harmonies and original songwriting.
The live band currently features Alt-Country pioneer Jimmy Ryan (Blood Oranges, Wooden Leg, Hayride) on mandolin, Eric Royer (The Resophonics, Sacred Shakers, Royer Family Band, etc.) on pedal steel, and Jim Gray (The Smack Dabs) on upright bass.
Beach Day in Black and White is the third Sado-Domestics album from Gleason-Martinez, following Hey,Oaxaca (2020) and Two-Egg Scrambler (2013). The duo has also collaborated on two albums from side-project Noise Floor Delirium: Still Around (2017) and Life Street Closed (2022).
Genre: Americana / Indie-Folk-Rock / Roots-Rock / Singer-Songwriter
Two-Egg Scrambler (2013) is an album composed of 15 original compositions drawing upon a range of musical styles and influences (folk, rock, country, punk, blues, bluegrass) and utilizing a range of acoustic and electric instruments.
“All the best elements of grassroots, folk, Americana, country, acoustic meld beautifully in the music that Sado-Domestics creates…I feel a genuineness emanating from the songs and a uniqueness among the comfort and familiarity of these genres.”
—Debbie Catalano, The Noise-Boston
"I can't say whether these folks are as badly housebroken as the band name implies, but I sure can recommend you invite them to your musical table."
—Rob Weir, Off-Center Views
