The Sudden Passion

About Me

The Sudden Passion began some years ago as M. Palermo's (of Femme Fatality - St. Louis, MO) solo project. The songs share the stories of his tour adventures, love sagas, and tales of ballroom brawls from a tell-it-like-it-is approach. While all the ditties were originally showcased as solo/acoustic, they are now rarely performed the same way twice at a live performance.
In the recent months M. Palermo added a permanent band consisting of P. McCoy (of Whiskey Ring) on lead guitar, K. McDonald (of Old Skin) on drums, and younger brother A. Palermo of (Femme Fatality) on bass. The result has been a quartet of whiskey drinkin' electro-inclined folk-punks who aren't afraid to get down on a country tune or two every now and again.
The Sudden Passion are currently working on their first studio album, entitled Central Standard Time. The band has released Worst Side (Select Demos, Outtakes, and Live Tracks 2005-2008) to hold over their hordes of admirers in the mean time. Keep an ear out for more info about the Midwest tour dates that have been booked for this Winter and Fall.
