ABOUT

Looking to co-headline or book with other area or touring bands.

We are an indi band that takes inspiration from 80s post-punk, alternative country and classic R&B.

We are seeking a LEAD GUITARIST to share the spotlight with our existing guitarist who mainly plays rhythm and acoustic. You are someone that can bring a dark, old-school grit and swagger (think Link Wray, Duane Eddy, Morricone, etc.). Listen to the demos for an idea of what we're going for.

Also seeking a VIOLINIST to add a new dynamic to our sound. Must be comfortable with improvising accompaniments.

Send a message to giveupthesunmusic at google mail if interested.
