Sunny Day Sets Fire

"SUMMER PALACE" IN STORES ACROSS N. AMERICA NOW!!

About Me


Sunny Day Sets Fire have five members, hailing from four countries with three singles under their belt in the past two years; all leading up to one very anticipated debut album.

Multi-instrumentalists Mauro and Onyee met while working as ushers at a London repertoire cinema. The two shared a vision of theatre, art and music and when Mauro began writing a collection of ambitious sunshine psych songs, mutual friend Max was asked to join the group. The founding members of Sunny Day Sets Fire (the name came simply from an internet band name generator) began experimenting with every possible trick to realise the impossible task of performing music written for a small orchestra. Over the next two years, the original members released a succession of singles across Europe, the US and Australia and saw the incremental additions of Ed (bass) and Matthew (drums). Collectively hailing from Italy, Hong Kong, Sardinia, England and Canada; Sunny Day Sets Fire built a nest in East London and began working on their debut album, Summer Palace, throughout 2007.
The band will be touring throughout Europe and the US in 2008, supporting the release of Summer Palace, as well as the upcoming Stranger remix EP featuring remixes by the likes of CSS, Diplo and the Cool Kids. It's enough to make you burn your passport and declare yourself a converted citizen of the world.

"A wild and volatile flood of gorgeous, exuberant pop, a euphoric and epic clatter of leg-moving indie that has the crowd marionetting to band's beaming smile of majestic hooks and careening melodies"
