Once upon a time, on March 16th 2014, something special happened. Very special. Three guys from the deepest and darkest parts of South-West England came together and started a band. Tris, Will and Freddie. Although two of the three are actually from Kent & Essex, so don't have that classic farmer accent. They wrote a few songs and thought they sounded pretty kick-ass but also pretty $H!+ at the same time, so they carried on.
On Friday, May 2nd 2014 the band performed their first show with the line-up at a small Open Mic night in Milverton, Somerset. Performing Panic! At The Disco's 'The Ballad Of Mona Lisa' followed by My Chemical Romance's 'Helena'.. acoustically. This performance is available on the band's YouTube channel.
On July 10th 2014, after months and months of some of the most difficult work they have and will ever experience, these three morons finally came up with the name 'Sunset Sunday'. Even though that day was a Thursday. Yeah.. not too metal. But the reason is because Sunday evening is pretty much the worst time of the week.. I mean it can't get much worse than knowing you have an entire week of school or work ahead of you. That and also sunsets look nice. And it's alliteration.. I think...
On July 21st 2014, Sunset Sunday released their first demo as a single available for $1 USD on the band's Bandcamp page, called 'Get Out Alive'.
UPDATE: This single has now been taken down and is being rerecorded. 23/11/2015
On Sunday, September 7th 2014, Sunset Sunday performed their first show as Sunset Sunday. A half-hour slot at a Street Fair in Wiveliscombe, Somerset, along with a ten minute slot live on '10Radio' before hand, performing their new single 'Get Out Alive', followed by, once again, My Chemical Romance's 'Helena'... acoustic.. again. Both these performances are available on the band's YouTube channel.
On September 22nd 2014, Freddie finally got a real drum kit. Although it's not his. It's just at his house because his teacher doesn't have anywhere else to put it than in a medieval barn in the middle of Somerset's Quantocks. Oh yeah and the teacher takes the snare, pedals and sticks away when he goes home. So Freddie can't actually practise. Oh well.....
On October 21st 2014, Sunset Sunday released their second demo as a single for $1 USD on the band's Bandcamp page, called 'Insomnia'.
UPDATE: This single has now been taken down and is being rerecorded. 23/11/2015
On November 7th 2014, Sunset Sunday (minus Will Stead) performed their songs 'Doomsday' and 'Get Out Alive' acoustically at the Open Mic Night in Milverton, Somerset, with friends, Burnout-13. This performance is available on Sunset Sunday's YouTube channel; and also their Bandcamp page on a live acoustic compilation album of performances at Milverton Open Mic starting with this one and then throughout 2015.
UPDATE: This is no longer available on Bandcamp. 23/11/2015
On November 8th 2014, Freddie finally got HIS OWN real drum kit. A Pearl Export in wine red with Zildjian 'Planet Z' cymbals. Nice. And all the way from Germany.
On November 14th 2014, the band uploaded their two demo singles on their Bandcamp page, 'Get Out Alive' and 'Insomnia' onto their brand new Soundcloud page too! Check it out here: soundcloud.com/sunsetsundayofficial. From now on all uploads to the band's Bandcamp page will also be made to their new Soundcloud page.
On December 7th 2014, Sunset Sunday released their third demo single for $1 USD on their Bandcamp page, called 'The Simple Minded'.
UPDATE: This single has now been taken down and is being rerecorded. 23/11/2015
On January 4th 2015, the band released their Demo EP, to be sent to contacts in the music industry. Get it here.
On January 31st 2015, Sunset Sunset played live on 10Radio, and received their first ever encore request. For this they replayed the first song of the four-song setlist, 'Summer Sky', because the first version was basically like a live sound check, on air.
The band also released their debut (demo) album on air, 'Independent Sensitivity'. Get it here.
Sunset Sunday have had a great and packed summer 2015 of festivals including Fire & Forge Fest Warm Up for Rock Diabetes, along with Bradninch Rocks a week later; several live radio appearances including twice on 10Radio and once acoustically on Apple FM; performed at The Fleece in Bristol with fellow band, Burnout-13, and were asked back to The Fleece THE NEXT DAY to support two tribute bands on Friday, September 11th. Sunset Sunday also released two new singles during the summer, 'Freddie's Room' and 'Indecent Exposure [The Sock Song] which can both be streamed at soundcloud.com/sunsetsundayofficial and purchased for just $1 USD each at sunsetsunday.bandcamp.com, along with an acoustic cover of NOFX's 'Linoleum' that can just be streamed on the band's Soundcloud profile.
