I am back with a photo update.  These are from day 2 of recording, which occurred maybe a week ago.

I made a vertical composite of the three members who were in attendance.

Recording Blog #1




Hello. The Sunflower Spectacle dudes are awesome and allowed me to photograph their recording sessions. I will be posting pictures throughout the entire process. Please come back soon for more updates!

Merry Christmas!

Hello Everyone!
Happy Holidays and greeting from all of us at the Sunflower Spectacle. As some of you might know we have recorded a Christmas album, titled: "It's Christmas…Don't Be So Sad." When we say Christmas album we do not mean covers of Christmas songs, we are actually talking about original songs written about a wide variety of subjects that surround the holiday season. Some of which include; Alcohol, Loneliness, Heartbreak, and the classic Christmas feeling of sad yet hopeful nostalgia. However not all the moments are dismal. There is a song about a sleigh ride, and a song about being home with family and friends on Christmas. Hopefully there is a song for you. If you would like you can preview some of the songs on our myspace, and if you want buy an album. We are having a Christmas/listening/releas
e party on the Dec. 20th at the apartment above 709 following the show. There will be eggnog and Christmas sweaters, and everyone will be there. You should come. Everyone should come, bring your friends. We will have cheese dishes and hot chocolate, and conversations.( I will provide more information at the bottom of this post dealing with time and location.)
If you cannot attend and want to purchase a record we have them for sale online just go to our myspace page and click the link under the giant christmas tree picture.
We will also be performing the entire record with the My Idea Of Fun artist collective at 709's Christmas show on Dec. 27th. Please check out My Idea Of Fun it is filled with great people, and wonderful music.
