Singer/guitarist Shimon Moore and bassist Emma Anzai met in 1997 in their high school music room, bonded over Silverchair, and formed a band with drummer Chris Mileski. In the decade that followed, the Puppies added an album and some EPs, several national tours, and a hotly downloaded cover of Destiny's Child "Say My Name" to their resume.<p> <p> Stateside, however, Sick Puppies are another YouTube success story. To save up money for the band's planned attack on the American market, Moore got a job at a Sydney mall, where he befriended and videoed a man named Juan Mann, who stood outside the mall every day with a sign reading "Free Hugs." When Mann's grandmother died, Moore edited that footage into a short video that chronicled Mann's Free Hugs Campaign, set it to the Puppies' "Nothing Really Matters," and sent it to Mann as a sympathy card. Moved, Mann posted the video to YouTube. By the end of 2006, "Free Hugs" had reached 11 million views, was featured on <i>Oprah</i> and CNN, and helped the Puppies (now with Mark Goodwin on drums) snag a deal with Virgin to release 2007's <i>Dressed Up as Life</i>. - Rachel DevittContemporary Hard Rocken720Thu, 7 Jan 2010 07:00:25 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10545698&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fsick-puppies%2Fplaylists.rss In their home country of Australia, Sick Puppies hit the big time a long time ago.
