About Me

Sanuk started when Hopkins and Kissinger decided to play live shows with some original material. Sophie started singing with Hopkins and Kissinger at their live shows soon thereafter. Bassists and drummers were met along the way but none meshed as well as Collignon and O'Connor did. Thus, Sanuk's lineup was set in early January of '08. The band worked on writing and performing their songs as best they could and slowly worked their way out of the coffee shops they played acoustic sets in across Indianapolis. By the spring of '08 Sanuk was really gathering a formidable fan base. And with that force behind them they started working in the studio on what would be the seeds of their debut album, "Honey, I have news...". Throughout the summer of '08 Sanuk played festival after festival with new band-mates: David Linard, Randall Suggs, Liz Fohl, and Michael Preuschl. With a lineup of 9 people, Sanuk turned heads and pleased ears all summer long, expanding their fan base even more. All proceeds from their shows went to finishing up their album and in November of '08 they did just that. Sanuk is very proud of their work, and on January 10th allowed all of their fans share the excitement with them at their CD Release Show. Today, Sanuk continues to perform around town at various venues promoting, "Honey, I have news..." and new songs already in the works for their second album.

When Listening to Static Tones...

I can't control the specks of white popping into existence behind my closed eyes. But as quickly as they appear they are gone, driving me to wonder if they were ever there at all. So much in my life c...
