Goldenboy playing four LA area shows this June/July

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Indie rockers Goldenboy may have recently finished a lengthy tour across the US, but Shon Sullivan and company are already aching to get back onstage to play again. They’ve booked four shows in the LA area for this June and July.

GOLDENBOY DATES
6/10 – Hotel Cafe w/ Atlantic/Pacific – Los Angeles, CA
6/11 – Moon Block Party – Pomona, CA
6/17 – The Press w/ Atlantic/Pacific – Claremont, CA
7/16 – Smiley’s – Bolinas, CA

Goldenboy will be playing on June 10th at Hotel Café and again on June 17th at The Press restaurant, supporting Alantic/Pacific, a rising band on No Sleep Records.

Then, on June 11th, Goldenboy will take part in the first-annual Moon Block Party in Pomona. As the event’s official Facebook page details, Moon Block Party is a FREE non-profit outdoor art and music festival to benefit THE SCHOOL OF ARTS in Downtown Pomona’s Arts Colony. There will be a ton of bands playing, including our eenie meenie friends, spacey synth pop trio Halloween Swim Team. Also, food trucks, DJs, live art, vendors, people and fun. Don’t miss out!

On Saturday July 16th, Goldenboy will hit the stage at Smiley’s Saloon in Bolinas. The long-lived Smiley’s is both a music hall and hotel that looks like a pretty sweet place to take in a show or spend a weekend.

Be sure to catch at least one of these shows, as all four of them look to be pretty special events!

Goldenboy joins The Rentals on US Summer Tour

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

After several extensive tours on the West Coast in support of their sophomore album Underneath The Radio (EenieMeenie Records), the gang around Shon Sullivan is slated to join seminal neo new wave pioneers The Rentals on all of their US summer dates.

Goldenboy front man, Shon Sullivan, who will also be featured as special guest on The Rentals’ set says: “We have been friends for so long, so this is really a dream come true.”

Goldenboy will be on board right form the start when The Rentals kick things off at the end of June with several intimate warm-up dates on the West Coast culminating in a residency at LA’s famed Spaceland, every Saturday in July.

The band’s 2003 debut album “Blue Swan Orchestra” quickly became a favorite of famed music director Nic Harcourt of KCRW, making his list of top 10 favorite albums of all time. Their song “Summertime,” which featured guest vocals by Elliott Smith, also found it’s way into HBO’s hit series “Six Feet Under”. The band supported “Blue Swan Orchestra” by going on the road with such well know acts as Bright Eyes, Neil Finn, The Church, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks and Grandaddy.

Hey there, did you catch Great Northern‘s CD release show at The Echo last Tuesday? It was fantastic! (Unless you were stuck outside in the huge line, in which case it was still fantastic after you got IN.) A big thank you to everyone involved: KCRWRadio Free Silver LakeRock Insider, The Movies and Twilight Sleep, as well as everyone who came and had a good time. The band sounded great! And best news of all is that Trading Twilight For Daylight is now available in stores everywhere and “Home” is “Single of the Week” on iTunes! (It was also “Song of The Day” just recently on Seattle’s KEXP!) 

If you missed the show (how awful), don’t despair, we’ve got you covered – Great Northern is also playing an all ages show at The Troubadour with Loney, Dear on 5/30! Hope you can make it! In the meantime, you can catch a podcast/video clip on their KCRW “Morning Becomes Eclectic”live session.

So now we’re all excited about Scissors For Lefty‘s Underhanded Romance, in stores 6/12 and on iTunes 5/29! (But of course you can preorder it from us now, complete with really cool scissors charm and autographed poster! Don’t ever say we don’t do nothing for ya.) You can celebrate with them (and us) on 6/13 at L.A.’s Knitting Factory, with Lemon Sun and Something For Rockets, presented by KXLULos Anjealous and Imeem. (What can I say, we got a lot of friends.) Or you can catch them on 6/15 at San Francisco’s Independent, with Lemon Sun and Maldroid, also presented by Imeem.

Until then you can get your fill from the band’s new EPK and fun little ecard. A hilarious new video for “Lay Down Your Weapons” is in post-production at Sharp-Ford, so we’ll keep you posted!

For fans of Goldenboy, Shon and co. are currently spreading cheer with talented Chris McFarland. And they’re also hitting the road with The Rentals this summer! First up is a Saturday night residency at Spaceland in July. Preorder your tickets now because the first night is sold-out already, and the rest are going fast!

And last but certainly not least, Irving has been updating their video tour blog from Germany! Check it out here. Amazing how those guys can keep making us laugh, from all the way across the world. We do miss ‘em!
