Back in 2003, The Sun we're just getting started, but were immediately getting media buzz and scored a coveted spot opening for The Flaming Lips at the peak of their mainstream popularity. Here's a bit from the NW Times that does a good job discussing the formation of the band:
Over the course of only the near 18 minutes that make up its excellent debut EP, "Love & Death," the Columbus-based four piece manage to out- Vine the Vines with opener "Fell So Hard," pay homage to the great mid-'60s American garage rock compilation "Nuggets" with "Carry It All," then recall the beauty of Paul Westerberg at his acoustic best with set closer "Eyelids Apart."
"We're scatterbrained," admitted Sun singer and guitarist Chris Burney. "And scatterbrained in a good way. We can't keep our minds in one place for longer than 25 minutes. I don't mind it."
