theredsunband

We're doing our first ever residency and thankfully it's at our spiritual home, the Hopetoun Hotel in Surry Hills. Different bands will be supporting us every week, so check the tour dates. It is FREE ENTRY so there's no excuse for not coming along and having a couple of drinks. The shows are in the early evening, starting at 6. It'll all be over by 10pm, so there's plenty of time to go home and get a good rest before work the next day. I think we'll be playing at around 9. We'll be playing songs from Peapod, as well as new stuff, and real old stuff... b-sides and the like. If you have any requests head to our myspace site www.myspace.som/theredsunband and pop them in our comments.

We're finally playing a show. It's at the annandale with Bluebottle Kiss. They're recording a live album over two nights. Also, the mixing for the second record is being wrapped up this week.

Currently Tim Whitten is mixing the second album. It sounds very beautiful.

Since completing tracking for their second studio album, theredsunband are beginning to come back to the live scene. In August they'll be supporting the very cool Gaslight Radio in melbourne, sydney and brisbane. The album is due to be mixed in september and pencilled in for release early next year.

Hello everybody. It's very wonderful- I won an APRA PDA award. Kind of. The award I won is specially in honour of Jessic Michalik, the girl who died at the Big Day Out. The award is intended to support and encourage up and coming song writers. The ceremony was at The Mint in the city, and I met Jessica's parents, Barbara and George, and her best friend, Lisa. It was a bit emotional. The award was presented by Sahara Herald-Shepherd who runs, with Ken West, the Big Day Out. Magnificent!

A little while ago some people were emailing us about starting up a forum on this website. We've now got our own site on myspace- myspace.com/theredsunband- so head over there if you'd like to write something. There's also a whole bunch of live photographs from various venues over a long period of time, so check it out!
