Background notes
Archive material and source history
Bales of Hay formed in New York City in the late 1970s. The band included Johnny Smith on vocals and guitar, Matt Jones on bass and keyboards, and Tony Malone on drums. Their sound mixed punk, new wave, and funk in a way that didn't fit neatly into any one category.
Their song "You're So Sassy" came out in 1981 and became their most recognizable track. The lyrics were direct and unapologetic, which some listeners connected with and others found offensive. The band's willingness to push boundaries with their words defined much of their public reception.
Bales of Hay dealt with lineup changes and internal disagreements over time. Their music stayed rooted in that experimental rock approach they'd developed early on, even as their notoriety grew around songs like "You're So Sassy."
