about
Sunny Pompeii was buried in the ashes of Mt. Vesuvius nearly two thousand years ago and reborn as a psychedelic pop band in 2010 on the hills of Little Mountain in Vancouver, British Columbia. The 4-piece fuses together the classic warmth of sun-baked afternoons with a refreshing blast of melodic distinction. Listening to their music is like eating fruit from the forbidden tree of knowledge - it feeds your mind with the sweetness of hooks and rhythms that are hard to describe and even harder to get out of your head. To make a Sunny Pompeii, take three parts jazz school (1 graduate, 2 free spirits), one part higher education, scatter them in a few hazy basements for about a year, and blend together until each can play the other’s instrument. Then drink it down. In early 2011, Sunny Pompeii hibernated in the caves of the Nimbus School for Recording Arts to craft their first release, Breakfast of Champignons. The five song EP, engineered by Owen Marmorek and mixed by Paul Boechler at FaderMaster Studios, distills the creative wit of four good friends who live for music.
