Let’s start a fire!

Quick post about a great band I came across called, “Sunny Day Sets Fire” (referred to as SDSF from here on b/c I’m lazy). SDSF seems to be on the fast track to total domination as they’ve been featured in many of the music blogs, magazines, Pitchfork, you name it. Yet, they still retain the innocence and charm of the local garage band wanting to sell you their demo tape.

SDSF hail from all corners of the globe – Mauro (Italy) Onyee (Hong Kong), Max (Italy), Ed (UK), Matthew (Canada). Their music reflects from a pool of wide ranging influences and runs somewhere on the plain of epic psychedelic pop. Originally a three piece (their first recordings are dated 2004), Mauro, Onyee and Max enlisted Ed in 2006 and then Matthew in early 2007 to help make their live performances and studio recordings a bigger more colourful experience.

Following intensive rehearsals and recording sessions the end results are bright, richly textured, epic recordings and explosive live performances, which see the band switch instruments a number of times. The band released their first single, Brainless, on Brikabrak Records in 2006 and followed it up with the release of Wilderness in the latter part of the year. Around the same time the band released a four tracks EP on IAmSound in the US and Etch’n'Sketch records in Australia.

The band will be touring throughout Europe and the US in 2008, supporting the release of the long awaited debut album “Summer Palace”, as well as the upcoming “Stranger – Remix EP” featuring remixes by the likes of CSS, Diplo and the Cool Kids.
