The Suns debut E.P. sold out in an hour after their amazing
performance at the Espy on Saturday.
"We played to a fullhouse at the Espy. And judging
from the crazy crowd and encouraging sales, we definitely
managed to rock the joint. There was a bit of confusion
after our set cos everyone was rushing to the front to
get our E.P. while we were still getting our equipment
off stage. But our live crew did a wonderful job keeping
things under control. We made a lot of important
contacts after the gig and got to chill out with a whole
bunch of bootiful ladies backstage after the show,"
said San.
Here's what some people had to say about The Suns performance
at the Espy on Saturday (photos on right).
"The
Suns are one of the most fun bands that I've seen in my
two years working at the Espy. They have a very colorful
crowd. Nobody was buying drinks while The Suns were performing
because everyone was getting into the show. But after
The Suns finished, the bar was extremely busy," said
Ashok, bartender at the Espy.
"I have never seen an opening act at the Espy which
performed as if they were the headline band. The
Suns had the crowd singing along to their songs at nine
thirty. That's way before the time that people usually
get drunk,"
said Lex.
"This was the first time I've seen The Suns and it
was unreal. I noticed the band had so many groupies,"
said Anna.
The Suns have announced that they will be releasing a second run of
their E.P. for those who missed out. However, the reprint will sport
a new band logo and artwork. Designed by Lex of MrFrumpy (the
guys who do posters for The Living End, Area 7 and Regurgitator), the
new artwork will be simpler, bolder and easier to draw.
"It's quite impossible to replicate our logo unless
you have the artistic talent of Jamie (the designer of
the original logo). I mean we ourselves can't even draw
our logo. We wanna make the new logo easy enough for anyone
to draw so that fans can vandalise their lecture pads
and school tables with it during those boring classes!"
said Justin.
The artwork change will also effectively turn the original
E.P. into a strictly limited edition E.P. for the original
fans of The Suns.
"Only
those who bought the E.P. at the ESPY gig have it and
you can't buy it anymore. This is our way of saying thanks
to all those who have been supporting us from the start.
When we become world superstars, all of you can tell everyone
else that you have the original E.P. with the artwork
designed by the band," explained Wayne.
In other news, The Suns have released the full lyrics to their
EP and two songs from their EP for mp3 download in the songs
page.
