Happy holidays to the millions of readers that come to this page for comic relief!! Sunset Junkies have put a wrap on another year. This starts the sixth year for the band which is sometimes still hard to believe. When we originally launched this project we never knew if we could succeed or not. Our biggest gift comes from the support of the people who enjoy listening to our music. As you can tell, we really enjoy what we do. I think all four of us can agree that we had all dreamed someday we could play in a band and make our own music and that people would like it. Then on top of that you add the two albums that we have made, all the places we have played, and the people that we have seen; when you step back it sometimes feels surreal that four guys from Lima can claim this. Looking back on 2011 the main highlight was the release of Therapy. This was much anticipated but there is no doubt that this album was not rushed in anyway. No sacrifices were made, no corners were cut, and we learned a lot during the process.

Other noteworthy events from 2011 would include; Playing in Ft. Wayne and Cincinnati, and adding new venues Luke’s, Beer Barrel, and Pappy’s. We will be releasing a full calendar sometime soon with plenty of opportunities to see Sunset Junkies in 2012. But in the meantime we will be laying low in January when the weather is bad and everyone has the holiday hangovers. But behind the scenes there is always something going on, this rock and roll beast never sleeps!
More than music… it’s a way of life!
