[28/03/07] Queasy listening

We're a trio of polymathic Renaissance Men here at Sunnyvale HQ, and often get up to all sorts of interesting and exciting things outside of the band. For example: Giles is resurrecting his once-legendary Oxford-based easy listening club Disques Vogue for one night only Thursday 5 April at the Zodiac, Oxford. Find out more here.

Work on the album continues apace. Happy new year!

[31/10/06] 2007 will be the year of Sunnyvale. Perhaps...

So, AUDIOSCOPE06 was a great success and the best fun since sliced bread. We've got one more gig booked this year, before we all head off to Lapland to get jiggy with Santa's little helpers and/or hibernate. Early 2007 will see the release of our album, at long last.

[18/09/06] It's about time...

Things are quietening down on the Sunnyvale gig front, as we're taking time out to record our forthcoming album, which is due out in February 2007 on Field Records. Recent recordings of 'Call this number if you hear noises' and 'Godzilla vs. Kathleen Hanna' are sounding terrific, and we're off into the studio again this weekend to record a new version of 'Girl Thief', plus new tune 'Another Japanese big robot story'. During the Autumn and Winter, we'll record four or five more, and with that join the likes of M People and Dario G in the electronica section of your local record emporium.

In the meantime, if you live in or around Oxford, you can catch us at our Audioscope festival on Saturday 28 October, the lineup for which is making recording difficult as we're all shaking with excitement so much.

Welcome to Sunnyvale's new online home

We have a few shows booked until the end of October, so take a look at the gigs page and insert a big marker pen reminder in your diaries. In other news, we have at last decided on which tracks will form our debut album, and the recording process chugs along like an Airbus A380 with an engine out. It'll be worth the wait.

We've also been hard at work completing the lineup for our Audioscope festival, which is shaping up as the best one yet - take a look at the Audioscope website for all the latest.

Single launch show this Wednesday

hello friends!

sunnyvale are playing live this wednesday evening, at the port mahon in oxford. we will perform the function of main support to the rather brilliant they came from the stars, i saw them, making for one of the most word-heavy gig posters of recent times.

this show will be our single launch too, as copies have just come back from the printers. they look great, they sound better, and we'll be selling them on wednesday, so break open your piggy banks.

8pm, four bands, one of whom are your warm and cuddly sunnyvale pals. what more could you ask for?

in other news, first review of the single is in the current edition of nightshift, oxford's music magazine:

'Oxford's premier purveyors of scrambled postrock and guitar-driven electronica go up against Nottingham-based one-man experimentalist Matt Grundy (aka Princess) for a limited-edition 7" release on Field Records, following on from their contribution to the 'Asking For Trouble' box set and their own 'Techno Self-Harm' EP. 'I Love You Every Time You Smile' is a long-time live staple and was featured on a Snakebite City compilation way back in 2002, so we're not entirely sure why it's being put out again at this point. Still, it's easily the band's most accessible work with a simple guitar hook that's as catchy as anything you could expect from a band whose sole purpose on stage, it would seem, is to sear half of your hearing range to a charred ember. Even so, it's unlikely this release will catapult Sunnyvale into the pop mainstream and lead to them being picked to support James Blunt at Blenheim Palace this summer, but you can always dream.'

see you all soon
