Sunset Black tries to play about anywhere and everywhere. They're currently on tour across the US with pending dates in Europe and Australia.

It's amazing how many people you can reach with your music through the internet. Gaining fans over seas that would normally have never heard you. It also lets you put alot more of the promotions behind a band into your own hands. For instance, websites like this one. There are a million places you can post your music for people to find.

Too late...

Emotionally gut wrenching stories encircled by raw aggression. Intensely focused and real, they come from Minneapolis, the same hometown of Semisonic and Prince. Formed in Kansas City MO. in 1998, they met while in high school and began to perform at the local Kansas City venues. In August of 1999 Sunset Black made the decision to move to Minneapolis. They took the local scene by storm and one year later Sunset Black were sharing stages with bands such as Linkin Park, Staind, Fear Factory, System Of A Down, Nickleback, Fuel, C.O.C and more.

Sunset Black's big break came with a battle of the bands contest sponsored by Minneapolis' 93X. The winner would get to play at the station's X-Fest concert in front of 30,000 people. The X-Fest bill included the fast-rising, hard-hitting Florida band Nonpoint.

Discovered by Nonpoint, the band was brought to the attention of Bieler Bros/MCA. Nonpoint©ˆs guitarist Andrew Goldman went into the studio as producer with Sunset Black and emerged with ©¯Common Ground.©˜ Upon completion of the record they kicked off the year with yet another appearance at 93X-FEST in Minneapolis and shortly thereafter headed out for a series of dates supporting their friends Nonpoint.

This kind of relentless touring should help propel Sunset Black towards their ultimate goal of sharing their music with as many people as possible. The band has also amassed a huge, close-knit family through emails, street teaming, and their website.

Their music is emotional, inspirational, passionate and real. There are no games or gimmicks, only four individuals pouring every ounce of heart and soul into their music, their fans and their life. Common Ground hits stores on August 27th 2002.

Failure, Deftones, Hum, Smashing Pumpkins, Helmet to name a few.

Hmmm...I like the weather in San Diego but the people in Minneapolis.

The staple products of a rock band: Guitars, bass, drums...amps and shit.
