Sunshine Riot
Welcome Boys and Girls!

We're up to no good

so we're pregnant, get over it

so yeah, we're freatured on wfnx's website, for a song that we know and love, in too deep for a shovel that size, and our music video is fuckin awesome. So why do I feel like complete shit? cause i didnt do what i came here to do, and that bothers me. it should bother you too. PEace bitches,  especially you brian.
Peace
Jeff, the motherfucking bassist. period.

We need cords, badly, is there a charity for muscians?

yeah, so we're all broke like a yugoslavian car, but shit's still hittin the fan like clockwork. We got a show coming up at the Middle East Upstairs, Sept. 27, and we'd really like to see all of you there. We're currently in the process of making our first music video(s), and so far there seems to be little in the way of obstacles...

Any ideas anyone has for videos, let us know.
Brian recently got a tattoo of a G Clef, whatever the fuck that is, on his forearm. He says it makes him look more musical, which i say is physically imnpossible, unless you can see sound. Anyway, Jonny got a tattoo as well, his name, on his right buttcheek. It looks amazing, way more cool than that G spot, or whatever the fuck brian got.

See you at the show,
-Jeff, the motherfucking bassist


P.S. oh and if there's anyone out there who is working on his or her English, please, work harder, we can't understand you.

Riot at Paradise!

On May 28th, Sunshine Riot will be playing at the Paradise on Commonwealth Ave.  Tickets are available in advance from the boys, or through e-mail by booking@sunshineriot.com (title it tickets).  They're $15 in advance and $20 @ the door.  We're playing at 9:30, but come early and bring your Riot gear.

Mixing boards beware!!!

We're scheduled to go into the studio next saturday to start on our first full length album. We're hoping to have a sample track, Rags To Pearls, up on this site and the myspace the day of recording, so look out for it! Thanks Tyler for your help, we owe you a drink.

There's no place like dome

So yeah, we're getting along with our full length album right now, working out scheduling and such nonsense, and we were wondering if you guys had any suggestions for the title. We'll be putting up a suggestion box at some point soon.

The MySpace has been revamped a little; go check it out if you feel so inclined.

Anyhow, things are going great and our show this weekend should be a great one. Somerville is an awesome place to go see a live band, and it is home to the most beautiful Dublin waitresses I have ever seen. You ever hear Steve Earle's Galway Girl? yeah, they're exactly like he says.

So, it has been mentioned in our inner circle of the band that because of our eclectic nature, we would like to maybe write a hip hop/rap song (nick said it, I never know when to take him seriously so this could be a bullet to the foot on my part). Any lyricists that are interested please get in touch with us and we'll knock some ideas around. The only requirement is that you can rap without referring to yourself or the band at all. Those self indulgent pricks on the radio these days seem to be way to full of themselves, and that's our job damnit!

Oh yeah, and Brian got a haircut

this is brian when he was 12, and now he looks the same. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START GROWING HAIR FUNNY PLACES YOU FREAK?!??!?
Since he hasn't uploaded any pictures of it yet, I figure this is a good estimation of what it looks like. This is a picture of shakes from back in the day. Just add a goatee and it's exactly the same as now. I don’t know who that other prepubescent boy is though, but when I do there's going to be trouble.

That is all
-Jeff

we wish it was free for everybody

okay okay! we gave the freebies away stop harrassing us please!!

brian almost died...again....in the same place...drummers.



driving down good ol' 495 S our little drummer boy's car, at 75 mph, in the fast lane of travel...shut off.

P.S. Jeff gave him the car...freak gardening accident my ass

so we'd like to dedicate the April 3rd show to the Brians Going To Die In A FUCKING CAR ACCIDENT foundation.  Donations and alternatives to his demise accepted but not expect

cop out

that should hold you over till i can come up with something clever....
