Grand Guignol

"Grand Guignol" is a hard rock anthem about the people who just have to make a big deal out of everything.

Le Theatre du Grand-Guignol was where Parisians used to go to get shocked. They specialized in naturalistic horror plays that were over-dramatized, ridiculous, and over the top. It now comes to mean any gruesome or gory drama or event.

We all know at least one person who loves to turn every night into drama night, and this song is for them.

Hypnogogic

Here's the video for our latest single, "Hypnogogic", about the state between waking and dreaming. The split seconds where your dreams seem solid and appear in the real world. Full lyrics and the MP3 is available for download at http://sunspot.bandcamp.com/track/hypnogogic and the video is available for download at http://www.sunspotmusic.com/roadmania/Hypnogogic.mp4

"Alive Day" by Sunspot Torchwood Season One

Alright, after watching all those awesome Doctor Who fan videos from season one a couple years back, I've wanted to make a fan video using one of our songs, but it was hard to find an appropriate song. We just finished a recording of a brand new song, "Alive Day", and I made a video for it from clips of Torchwood Season One. It's one of my favorite shows currently and I thought the subject matter of the song and the TV show fit perfectly.

Please let us know what you think and if you dig the song, we'll be making a few more tweaks, but we'll have an MP3 of it up soon as well.

If you like it, please feel free to let your friends know about the new tune.

This one's more of a music video, here's some clips of Sunspot playing Racine Harborfest 6/23/07. Wendy and I filmed an intro yesterday, but my iMovie crashed and I lost it. And it was really a fucking awesome intro too, you guys would have loved it. I mean, it was really something. But now it's gone forever and no data recovery services can do anything to salvage that greatness. Thanks to Kevin Z. for sneaking the camera by the vigilant security guards and enjoy the songs! Can you let me know if I'm looking plump in this one? It's always so hard to tell on video.

Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 38

Here's another one from the van as we're driving through Ohio on our way back from the Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA. The drive was a little terrifying this morning because there was a snowstorm rolling in as we were leaving, but otherwise it's been somewhat pleasant and it was a wicked party, especially Friday, but with $5 pitchers at Zembie's and working up the liquid courage to talk and hand out CDs to every person we met that night, memories are fuzzy...

Anyway, here's the links to the people we talk about in this podcast.

Millennium Music Conference
Future of Music Coalition
WXPN Radio from Philidephia
Eugene Foley and Artist Development
Lebanon Valley College Radio

We also put "Mr. Foff" from our new CD, Neanderthal, that we're releasing on Friday at Madison Avenue!

Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 30 Part 2

I had to split these to podcasts into two, this is part two. I tried uploading it the other day and it didn't work, so I tried again before I fell asleep last night and it did. I just checked it out on Wendy's laptop and the files are cooked as fuck. It looks like doing podcasts from the Treo might be a little bit too far on the low quality end, might work in a pinch, but this isn't what we're looking for.
