Sadistics were a short lived rock band from Japan. Formed in 1976 after the departure of a few key members of the monstrously popular band Sadistic Mika Band, including frontwoman Mika, Sadistics as a result had far less commercial and critical success, and split in 1979 after releasing several singles, two albums and a live album. Unlike Sadistic Mika Band, which reunited twice since its disintegration in 1975, Sadistics never reunited.
