"Perfect" - Major Arcana

Sunspot performs their previously unreleased song, "Perfect", as featured in their upcoming live concert DVD, "Major Arcana".

A combination of theater, audience participation, multimedia stage show, and rock concert party, they hired local actors to film scenes in between songs and provided a story that linked the songs to each other as well as a tarot card for each track (hence the title, "Major Arcana".) The idea is that the main character was getting an online tarot reading and the cards represented the themes of the songs as well as where the character was going in the story. The band premiered the show during SXSW in 2010 and took it on a tour of America's East Coast, Midwest and South in the Summer.

This DVD is the culmination of the tour and stage show. Recorded at The Annex in Madison on the last night of their tour, "Major Arcana" is the complete live production specially recorded for the DVD, along with tour videos, deleted scenes, a commentary track, and other special features. It will be available for purchase December 17th, as well as on their website, www.sunspotmusic.com

Major Arcana Trailer

Sunspot's "Major Arcana" tour was about creating a completely new type of experience that's personal like a rock concert has the emotional weight of a musical, that's dynamic visually like a film, and has the depth of great literature. The band premiered the show at SXSW in 2010 and took it on a tour of America's East Coast, Midwest and South in the Summer.

This DVD is the culmination of the tour and stage show. A complete live concert DVD, along with tour videos, deleted scenes, a commentary track, and other special features. It's released December 17th and available for pre-orders at http://store.sunspotmusic.com

"Prozac Girl" and "Pretend" Sunspot on Late Night Madness April 1998

Hey, goatees are cool!

This is the first televised appearance of us as Sunspot, as well as the first ever time we played "Prozac Girl" and "Pretend" in front of a crowd! April of 1998, and we'd just finished writing the bridge of "Prozac Girl" that day!

I thought this would be the perfect day to put it up since we're doing a Major Arcana sneak preview tomorrow!
