BIO:
"The Sunglasses only planned to play one show at a church with a piano rock band. This was sometime in 2003 or 2004. The show was played. People were confused, horrified, exiting. Don't worry though, the dark days of the churches and circumstances and piano rock were eventually left behind. The Sunglasses’ sound is not so different today than it was 5 years ago. Although, Josh used to do spoken word and a person by the name of Nick Simmons once played the synth through a combo amp while sitting on said amp. He liked how it felt.
A self-titled EP was recorded that you can download at hotatldiy.com The Sunglasses stopped playing in 2005. Some of them moved. Then the rest moved. 2008, The Sunglasses decide it is a good idea to resurrect the grooves that once were and are and will be. Those gurgling days of playing in churches are over and have been traded for basements, living rooms, and the occasional stuffy venue. A normal show involves someone in the crowd spraying beer on every surface and person in the room (while simultaneously shouting "play that Split Enz song!" or "play Wasted...now!"), Josh fumbling into people who are confused by the newfound beer on their person, Daniel gyrating with his teal beauty, Zach looking red and wondering why there is a Gumby sticker on his bass, and Ray creating rhythms that intertwine with Daniel and Zach’s grooves to create something of a frenzied, tumbling, sensual experience. It’s all very awkward, but very wet and very fun. "
