SunSwitch - Before I Go

"SUNSWITCH" formed in 2006 in Christchurch, New Zealand, as a four piece band, with the drive to create dynamic original music, with a commitment to making waves in the New Zealand Music scene, exploring the boundaries of pop/progressive/rock with a solid rocking musical platform, and lyrics that people can relate to.
Since the RECORDING of their first 4 Track E.P titled "Before I Go" in JUNE 2007 at "Tandem Studios" now "Tandem Voice Booth", the band has achieved great success with local crowds, delivering energetic live performances, and gaining momentum towards future gigs and recording opportunities to come.
"SUNSWITCH" had a HUGE 'LIVE' debut year in the music scene, in and around Christchurch during 2007, including an opening support slot for NZ's top rock acts "OPSHOP' and 'The VALVES' at 'THE CIVIC' main stage! And were pleased to co-ordinate a successful gig in late '07 with Auckland touring band 'Sonic Altar' @ the 'ZINC Bar'

In 2008 'SunSwitch' have performed to epic rocking crowds at 'The Drop bar', 'Dux de Lux', and 'Zinc bar' and recently added their DEBUT MUSIC VIDEO to this site, check it out now!
The "SunSwitch" crew extends a huge thankyou to all our fans, friends, supporters, promoters, and venue managers alike! Keep an eye out for our latest upcoming shows, events and merchandise, and again thankyou all for your support! ROCK ON NZ MUSIC!
