Sunset Sons on UK Tour

The Sunset Sons are both surf fanatics and talented musicians, who’ve been rocking Europe’s surf community.

Now they’re hoping to make friends with more surfers and music lovers, on a new UK tour starting at the Boardmasters in Newquay, this weekend.

Refreshingly for a surf rock band, these guys actually surf. The band are based in Hossegor, they consist of 3 Brits and an Aussie, and get paid in surfboards (not 100% confirmed).

Sunset Sons have already tasted success:
• Signed to Polydor Records
• Le Surfing EP reached #6 in UK iTunes chart
• Zane Lowe branded them the ‘Next Hype’
• Played sold out gigs on the mountains and beaches of Europe
• Get regularly barreled on the beach breaks of Aquitaine

Their raw rock riffs and vocals, combined with fun surfer vibes, ensure you’ll be stomping your sandals to every track. Live sessions are essential if you enjoy a bit of crowd surfing; use of real surfboards are actively encouraged.

So catch them while you can at cosy venues across the UK, because soon they’ll only be playing giant stadiums and bonkers big festivals.

    And they played in Newquay after Boardmasters had to close on Sunday. So good to have surf conscious musicians kicking about, and their sound is awesome!

      They’re certainly down to earth and obviously love what they do, but who wouldn’t? Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
