(PR) Sunny Day Sets Fire has announced a very limited stateside engagement in late June, when the band of musicians from many lands and backgrounds will perform a handful of shows surrounding the premiere party for American Teen, a documentary on seniors in an Indiana high school and their various cliques. The Paramount Pictures release features songs by Sunny Day Sets Fire, which the band will perform at a private launch party as well as select venues and radio appearances around Los Angeles. See complete show details below. These will be the band's only U.S. dates until the fall 2008 CMJ New Music Festival.
Ostensibly a band founded in London, Sunny Day Sets Fire is a group with many homelands, many talents and many sounds. The quintet's unique brand of hummable surreal pop is a perfect soundtrack to summertime that could perhaps best be compared to artists like Blonde Redhead, The Flaming Lips, Architecture in Helsinki and Band Of Horses. The mid-summer release of its IAmSound full length debut Summer Palace will certainly establish Sunny Day Sets Fire as a reference point unto itself.
Sunny Day Sets Fire Live:
06/22 – Los Angeles, CA The Roxy (w/ Oxford Collapse and Frightened Rabbit)
06/24 – Los Angeles CA Spaceland
06/25 – Los Angeles, CA Henry Fonda Theater (Paramount Pictures party for American Teen. Private event)
