Short bio:
sunkissed is a five-piece psych-surf rock band from San Francisco. Since their debut single "On the Sun Kissed Hills of San Francisco," they've headlined Brick & Mortar Music Hall and Bottom of the Hill, been featured in New Noise Magazine, and released tracks ranging from introspective nostalgia to raw neo-psychedelia. Live, they lean heavier and looser. For fans of Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Backseat Lovers, and Peach Pit.
Long bio:
sunkissed is a five-piece surf-psych and indie rock band from San Francisco. The project started in a Victorian flat near Haight-Ashbury, where Calder Lund and Wenson Gan spent an afternoon writing with a friend visiting from Toronto. What came out of that session became "On the Sun Kissed Hills of San Francisco." A year of songwriting and recording followed in the same flat, where the band still works today.
Lloyd Maza joined on drums that summer. Henry Gish on bass in October, and the group played their first house show that same month. They recorded and released the debut single in January, played their first official live show in February. Rhys Compton joined on guitar in May, stepping on stage at Brick & Mortar Music Hall in front of a packed room. New Noise Magazine featured the band following the single's release.
Since then, the catalog has grown. "Echos" is synth-driven and up-tempo. "Ocean Breeze" hits on nostalgia and longing, the feeling of being carried somewhere you can't get back to. "Million Miles" is a rock opera featuring belting vocals and a massive sax solo. Live, Sunkissed has headlined Brick & Mortar Music Hall and Bottom of the Hill, with shows across the Bay Area including Berkeley, Pacifica, Santa Rosa, Daly City, and SF State. The live sets run heavier and looser than the studio recordings.
