TUESDAY 16 SEPTEMBER - GOLDENBOY
plus CHRIS BRADLEY & POLLEN "Lush acoustic pop from Elliot Smith compadres"- UNCUT
"The name Goldenboy started on one of the tours I was doing with Elliott Smith," explains Shon Sullivan. "We all had these funny little nicknames, and that became mine. We got back after the trip and started to play some shows, and the booking agent started booking us under 'Goldenboy'. We thought it was funny, so it stuck." Shon Sullivan has criss-crossed the world as part of former Weezer/The Rentals man Matt Sharp's touring band and has played with bands including The Eels, Johnny Marr, Spain, Neil Finn - and most prominently, Elliott Smith, whom he gigged alongside for four years until the songwriter's suicide in 2003.
Goldenboy's second record, Underneath The Radio, has just landed in the US. Right now, though, is your chance to hear where it all began. Blue Swan Orchestra, their debut album has been released in the UK by Split Records.
Goldenboy - making golden sounds, keeping Californian dreams alive.
