SunSquabi has announced an intimate benefit concert that will take place on Dec. 7th at the Bluebird Theater in support of the Can’d Aid Foundation. The just-announced performance follows the band’s primetime slot at the inaugural Grandoozy festival this past September, and their performance alongside Opiuo at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in April. SunSquabi will provide fans the rare opportunity to catch the ever flourishing band in a smaller, more intimate setting while performing two unique sets back-to-back with all the proceeds going to the Can’d Aid Foundation. SunSquabi has been donating $1 per ticket to Can’d Aid from every show for their last two nationwide tours.

The Colorado-based Can’d Aid Foundation’s mission is “spreading people-powered do-goodery” through Towns, Tunes, Treads + Trails and Love Yur Mama efforts nationwide.” Examples of such “do-goodery,” includes sending water to affected communities, providing flood relief and even supporting art programs via the power of music.

Northeast indie-groove band Goose announced their Fall Tour today. The 15+ date tour finds the band in New York City on Halloween and also includes inaugural two night runs in Columbus, OH and Steamboat Springs, CO. The subsequent western migration will include stops in staple markets including Denver, Chicago and Cincinnati. Goose finds themselves flocking with good company, as they support Pigeons Playing Ping Pong in New Haven on 11/2 and Sunsquabi for a two night run the following weekend in Harrisburg, PA and Washington, DC.

The quartet, based in Norwalk, CT, is comprised of Rick Mitarotonda (vocals, guitar), Peter Anspach (vocals, keyboards/guitar), Trevor Bass (bass), and Ben Atkind (drums). Goose’s music is the culmination of a rich history between friends of differing ages and experiences from the same small town in Connecticut, drawn together through a deep love of music and storytelling.

The band returned to the studio in 2019 for the first time since the 2016 debut LP, Moon Cabin, releasing two singles, “All I Need” and “Time to Flee”. Mastered by Grammy Award winner, Emily Lazar, the singles exhibit a developed live band showcasing their studio voice. Following breakout performances at Resonance Music & Arts Festival, Domefest, Summer Camp Music Festival and The Peach Music Festival; the Goose is loose.

Colorado-based hydro-funk trio Sunsquabi has invited some of their closest friends and musical peers to REMIX their latest release Instinct. Chris Karns, Late Night Radio and Nobide will all be featured on REMIXES, each putting their own stylish spin on the track of their choice.

DMC World Champion and turntable wizard Chris Karns is the first up in the REMIX series with his take on the track PANGOLIN. Available on all platforms Aug. 23rd, Karns took his intimate knowledge of the song and used the remix as an opportunity to dive deeper into its’ bouncy vibe giving it a more head nodding lilt and peppering it with lighting quick turntable cuts and hip-hop samples.

Instinct is a biological-themed journey of evolution. With the addition of Josh Fairman (bass/synth bass) last year and new levels of compositional prowess and sound design, it is evident that the group is dedicated to forward trajectory and experimentation. Each song’s namesake inspired by a creature or biological element is a reflection of every track taking on a distinct life of its own.

About SunSquabi

There’s a place, deep in the cosmos, where jam bands and electronic dance music intersect with rhythm-driven funk. You’ll feel like you’re floating here but not lost completely to the atmospheric elements. Instead, you’re tethered to an avant-garde spaceship with Colorado-based SunSquabi on the frequency. This cosmic wonderland is a melting pot of a variety of musical genres and it represents the future of music.

A three-piece suit - SunSquabi has been catching the eyes and ears of music fans around the world with their ever-evolving sound in the studio and on the live stage. SunSquabi has gained national attention for their unique way of producing music. The band’s live show can be described as an ‘Electronic Hydro Funk Experience’ that is different every single time out. SunSquabi continues to break down and analyze the expectations of what a “Live-Electronic” band should be. The band unveiled their debut EP with All Good Records, titled, ‘Odyssey’ which featured artists GRiZ and Dominic Lalli of Big Gigantic. Their 2nd EP ‘Deluxe’ was a sophomore success with the label that continued where Odyssey left off. The band has now released 2 singles ‘Just A Little’ and ‘Caterpillar’ ahead of their upcoming 2018 release.

Combining the talents of Kevin Donohue (guitars/keys/production) Josh Fairman (bassist/synth) and Chris Anderson (drums). This project is a disciplined and structured group. It takes a seasoned musician to stay in the pocket for the sake of building well-developed lines and climaxes. To do that seamlessly requires patience and skill. “It’s kinda like breathing, honestly. We can communicate directly with each other both verbally and non-verbally, onstage and off.” That connection will take the music collectively where we all want to go.” – Kevin Donohue

SunSquabi has announced their upcoming 2020 winter touring schedule. The tour takes the band thru the Southwest with stops throughout the Colorado Rocky Mountains and into Arizona. Supporting SunSquabi on these dates is Maddy O’Neal, Balkan Bump, Recess, Lucid Vision and Funkstatik. The run features 2 night runs in Telluride, Steamboat and Avon (Vail Valley) with other stops in Crested Butte, Tempe and Flagstaff.

SunSquabi has a natural affinity for touring in the mountains. "The energy we get from the locals and visitors brings out something you don't see everywhere. These shows are a ton of fun for us and we love to do them year in and year out,. A lot of these mountain towns are small venues with small stages but when you mix that with a rowdy ski culture energy, its a great catalyst for the band in this environment. ” says Kevin Donohue

Colorado electronic jam band hybrid trio SunSquabi delivers their seventh album, their third live one, today, Friday, February 7th. SunSquabi Live 2019 provides a hand-selected array of recordings from the band’s live performances in 2019, ranging from large festival gigs to club-venue recordings. These recordings were carefully curated by the trio’s members to mimic that mind-bending, mystical experience of a SunSquabi live set.

SunSquabi’s live performances have been described as an ‘Electronic Hydro Funk Experience’. Hence, the cross-genre trio of Kevin Donohue (guitars/keys/production), Josh Fairman (bassist/synth), and Chris Anderson (drums). SunSquabi Live 2019 delivers a taste of that live experience.

This latest album contains fan favorites Night Moth and Tequila Mockingbird played live for the first time with Big Gigantic frontman Dom Lalli; their collab is a treat for SunSquabi and Big Gigantic fans alike. SunSquabi Live 2019 also showcases some of the band’s unreleased tracks like Hornet and Top Down, which are set to be released later this year. 

SunSquabi Live 2019 offers something entirely different from the band’s 2018 release, SunSquabi Live at Red Rocks, and the 2017 release, SunSquabi Live in Boulder. While these albums were recordings from a single set, SunSquabi Live 2019 is intentionally curated and far more encompassing of the group’s range. Essentially, this album can be considered the paramount SunSquabi live experience.

As this album is comprised entirely of cherry-picked live recordings, it truly showcases SunSquabi’s versatility as a group. Live performances oftentimes capture what the studio cannot, precisely what SunSquabi Live 2019 has to offer.

BIG Something is launching their 6th studio album ‘Escape’ which comes out on all major platforms this Friday October 9th and is now available to order at www.bigsomething.com.

Produced by John Custer and Big Something at Ovation Sound, ‘Escape’ showcases the evolution of the band’s signature sound and their diverse range of songs. “We made a conscious choice with this album to get back to our roots musically. We wanted something that hit really hard but was danceable and upbeat,” explains drummer Ben Vinograd. “I think it’s a great portrait of where we came from and what we’ve grown into musically over the last 10 years.”

Guitarist and front man Nick MacDaniels adds, “I think making this album was a pretty powerful experience for us. It was the first time we tried to write songs again after our lyricist Paul passed away and also the first time we’d ever gone into a recording session without anything prepared. It was a nice breath of fresh air to work on something from scratch together in the studio with our producer John and it was also really special to record the last song that Paul and I ever wrote together ‘Machines.’”

“The songs themselves are all centered around the theme of escape,” MacDaniels continues. “What it means to ‘escape’ can be interpreted in a lot of different ways: sometimes positive; you're escaping from things that are holding you down or holding you back. Sometimes negative; escaping from reality in a way that's not healthy. I was thinking about that concept before we started recording last Summer. And that was long before quarantine and the pandemic hit. Back then I would have never imagined the world would look like this just a year later, but it’s also now a strangely fitting time for us to release this album.”

To celebrate the release of the new record, Big Something will premiere a video album listening party on Thursday October 8th followed by a FREE multi-cam virtual concert on Friday October 9th that will air across multiple platforms including NUGS TV, Live for Live Music, YouTube and more.
