And now…to announce some shows!
We’re excited to announce that after two months of being completely show-less we’ll be playing not one, not two, but THREE shows in the month of February! We’ve missed playing for you guys so much, we just had to book these three shows to make up for it! Let’s start with the one we’re most excited about:
We are super PUMPED to be a part of ACTIVATE, an arts showcase put on by RAWartists in Long Beach. This isn’t going to be your normal Twin Suns show. There are going to be all sorts of artists specializing in fashion, photography, visual arts and music. We feel honored that we were asked to join such an awesome event and we want you to join us! Unfortunately, it is 21+, but for all us older folk it’s going to be an amazing night. Even better, you can easily purchase tickets directly online! Make sure you tell them you’re there to support us though. Here’s the link to purchase tickets, as well as to the Facebook event page:
Montebello Backyard Show
Before the ACTIVATE show, we’ll also be taking part in a special birthday celebration for our new friend Scarlet on February 18th. Yes, it’s a backyard show and yes, it’s open to everyone! We haven’t played a backyard show in years, let alone one in Montebello. Needless to say, we’re stoked! Here’s the event page:
No Future Cafe
Last but most definitely not least, we’re making our return to No Future Cafe on February 24th! It’s going to be a special birthday show for our guitarist Aaron (and also our Team Mom Melissa!), so you know some special shenanigans are bound to go down! So far we’ve locked in our great pals The Ambient Light to help us celebrate and we’re working on getting a couple more of our friends to fill out the bill. We’ll make sure to let y’all when everything is set in stone! Keep an eye on this event page:
That’s all for now, but don’t worry! You’ll be hearing more from us in the coming weeks!
Love y’all!

Hello friends! We know we have been lagging in regards to studio blog updates. Apologies, but truth be told, we’ve been super busy working on all kinds of awesome things that we can’t wait to share with you. Here’s one of them…
As you know, we’ve been working hard for the past month or so on a new 6-song EP. We’ve decided to start an IndieGoGo (same thing as a Kickstarter, just a little more artist friendly) campaign to help us pay for the pressing of the actual CD. You can read all the info over at our campaign page, but here’s the basic gist of it just in case:
- We have different pre-order packages available for you to purchase ranging from $10-$100.
- Every dollar you spend will go directly into helping us pay for the pressing of our CDs.
- All the expenses for recording have come out of our own pockets up to this point, so any donation you make will help us greatly!
- Even if you don’t have the money to order our CD, you can help us by sharing the link to this pre-order with all your friends.
- Any help is much appreciated and you’re contributions will help our dreams become a reality. (Sounds cheesy, I know, but it’s the damn truth!)
We love you guys. We are seriously nothing without you. Let’s do this thing. Let’s get buff together.
-Aaron, Allen, Danny, Justin, Lonnie
PS. Expect another post to follow, this one regarding some show announcements! It’s going to be an epic #TwinSunsTuesday

A more serious side to Twin Suns.
Aaron is currently in the studio tracking guitar for our third song. I spent the majority of the weekend over at the studio soaking in the amazing sounds of Aaron’s guitar. Let me tell you, he has a great talent for manipulating pedals and coming up with some really good sounds. I’m consistently impressed by the quality and musicianship of my fellow bandmates. Being around all of this creative energy only makes me look forward to my time in the booth. Get ready, because these songs are sounding huge. Much love.

We’re making steady progress in the studio. We’ve also brainstormed a map of our goals in 2012. I can honestly say that it should be a big and exciting year for us. We hope you continue to support our ongoing progress. Much love.

Happy #TwinSunsTuesday everyone. Here’s our newest video update from the studio featuring the one and only Justin Gomez on bass. Help us spread it around! And don’t forget to watch it in HD.
