<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#ffcc00">A year ago we lost our best friend, brother in arms, and amazing musician/drummer Chris "Tru" Trujillo. It has been a tough year with many ups and downs . . . some the highest of highs and others the lowest of lows. But we soldier onward into the future and hold dear the memories, images and recordings of Tru and celebrate his life so that it will last as long as we do. Or longer</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#ffcc00">Cheers to all who sent messages of support then, and now</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042"><strong>2013 is half over and we're behind our schedule for the year. But who the hell keeps up to schedules anyway? It has been an interesting year thus far, with changes, health issues, and a liquid landscape in the music world.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042"><strong>2012 ended with the departure of Chris Elio from vocal duties, <strong>2013 started off with</strong> CSC injuring his hands (they've healed), Tru having some health issues, and Alex being swamped with his work. So we took our time, wrote, healed and just hunkered down for a bit.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042"><strong>CSC did a show with the band Genre Peak in June and will be doing more shows as they are booked this fall.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042"><strong>In late May Tru tracked drums on 2 new songs, Down By Sea and Transitory (10 minutes opus), which CSC had demo'd out. CSC busied himself with re-tracking vocals on Dreams, She Moved Me and Damage Done for release on a planned EP "Transitory" which was slated for release this summer. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042"><strong>But . . . (always the but at this point) new songs have been written and demo'd, enough for a full album. The planned release is this fall, depending on everyone's schedules and health. Benito Cortez will guest on at least one song along with David Brewer on whistles and pipes. Yes, you heard right, bagpipes. Perhaps a whole orchestra of them on a song called Glen Tower. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042"><strong>Oy, it be a mystery lads and lasses, stayed tuned and in key.</strong></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042">Nice review of Damage Done by Prog Journalist <a title="Jerry Lucky" href="http://www.jerrylucky.com/" target="_blank" data-imported="1"><span style="color:#bc9042">Jerry Lucky</span></a> published this week. One of the few who has gotten our gestalt quite nicely.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042">The release of our 5th album has been delayed indefinitely due to serious carpal tunnel issues for CSC, but he is still able to mix, or remix as it were, our 3 previous albums and some rare live material from the 90s. Definitely not "out" by any measure, there will be a release by summer of remixes and rarities.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042">2012 was a year of ups and downs for New Sun, the ups ruled though.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042">With the release of Damage Done, we returned with a new singer, a new attitude and a renewed fervor.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042">In the giant sea that is the online music world, DD was received well, but had to fight to be heard above the din. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042">Apparently it was. It made at least one top 10 Prog CD list of the year:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/O-Sonho-do-Rock-n-Roll/112098479040" target="_blank" data-imported="1"><span style="color:#bc9042">https://www.facebook.com/pages/O-Sonho-do-Rock-n-Roll/112098479040</span></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042">The end of 2012 was not as kind as the rest of the year, illness with 2 members and the departure of Chris Elio changed our perspective yet again.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042">2013 will bring new music, a new EP with remixes of DD songs, remixes of some back catalogue, and at least one new song. And another full CD's worth of material sits on the shelf ready to go.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#bc9042">Can't wait . . .</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Fast approaching the end of 2012, a good year for New Sun thus far.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Nice review in progression Magazine, which can be found on the "Press" page. Reviews has been slow to come, but overall very positive regarding the return of New Sun and Damage Done.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We did a series of shows locally (SF Bay Area) till mid summer and then due to a thing called "life outside the band" we took a break. With thoughts toward regrouping Jan 2nd 2013 and deciding how next year will go.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In the mean time CSC has been working on the special release CD with variations on some tunes from Damage Done, remixes of several back catalogue tunes and possibly 2 new songs. Tentatively called "Transitory" the plan was to release about now. But inspiration hit and CSC is looking toward a solo CD in 2013. But as with all things in life, the winds of change are blowing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">An announcement will be made regarding both in Jan 2013</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Enjoy your Holidaze and try not to be too much of a pig, yeah?</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">This evening I got the news that one of my inspirations for playing rock guitar passed away after a 5 year fight with prostate cancer. Not only was he an influence, me being a fan, he was also a friend who gave me opportunities and asked me to work with him doing live sound on tour.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I talked to Ronnie via phone at the end of Jan and we were planning on getting together at his show on March 17th in Santa Cruz. He planned on living a while longer as he had booked a whole tour through Oct of this year.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Thank you Ronnie Montrose, you'll be missed. Your music will live on and I will be one of those who makes that happen.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Man, the summer is almost gone and we've been so busy it was almost missed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We're still busy with mixing and the only song remaining to be tracked is Antigravity. Drums had been recorded, but we've been playing the song with some nice dynamics and small nuances that make it all the better. So it will be retracked live in studio here at <a href="http://www.bluesevenaudio.com" target="_blank" data-imported="1">Blue Seven Audio</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Shards in the Sand is mixed, with Damage Done 2011 and She Moved Me 2011 almost finished. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The CD should be finished in October, just in time for our CD release party and show at ClubFox, Redwood City Ca on 11/11/11</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">We are still engaged in finishing our 4th CD and expect to have two songs for release in August, so stay tuned for more info on that.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">All for now.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Many thanks for your support</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">For the first time in over a decade New Sun will be gracing the stage again.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The first show of a slew of upcoming gigs will be at Open Door Church in San Mateo Ca on July 9th with special guest Gustaf Fjelstrom (Maximum Indifference). This is a 350 seat facility that CSC designed the acoustics for, installed the PA system and works at every Sunday providing FOH mixing for their services.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A great venue where you can get up and personal with us.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">On Thursday July 14th New Sun will do an in store appearance at Rasputin's in Campbell Ca.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Details are in the link below</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">First</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> the June 16th gig was never confirmed, so no show. And the June 9th gig at ClubFox Redwood City Ca has been postponed due to events beyond our control.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Second</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A show in early July, with special guest at a private venue, will be announced the week of May 9th. This will be our "stepping out onstage after 10+ years" show.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There are other gigs forthcoming as we get out and about this summer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">All for now</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Cheers</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Yes, it has been a while since our last news update, though for those who follow on FB, very current.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Work on the CD continues, albeit slowly due to work, NAMM, illness and other unintended interruptions. We're all fine and working toward performing live.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Speaking of which, we have two shows in June. The 9th and the 16th, details to come. And there will be more announced soon.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The first remixes with current lineup (Wha? current lineup?! you say) will be released in May with the whole CD coming out mid summer. With the first song released will come an announcement we have put off for 6 months concerning the band lineup. And that is all that will be said at the moment, so don't let your skivvies get in a bunch. Patience.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">CSC has also been working on 2 Scottish tinged songs with some special guest. It will be his ode to his heritage and his being somewhat influenced by Jethro Tull. One of the tunes was actually written 15 years ago and has never seen the light of day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">On another note, this site will get a long overdue revamp in the next few weeks, so come back for a look see.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Cheers, for now</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">With the close of 2010 a decade has ended and a new era is dawning for New Sun.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The band has been busy with rehearsals for live performances in the coming year, recording for the new CD to come in 2011, and writing new material for whatever comes after that.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It's a slow process, and always has been, for the band wants to try and do it better each time, and the realities of life often get in the way of creative fun. But we're insistent</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There will finally be an exciting announcement in Jan and it's possible that on the 10th anniversary of the release of Expectations in March, a new CD will come forth into the world and either be accepted or ignored.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We don't know what the future holds, but we do it anyway.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The power to insist.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Happy New Year from New Sun</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Been a very busy last two months with us. Tracking Drums basics on the last 3 songs and even throwing in a 4th tune, somewhat unrehearsed. CSC has been busy laying down guitars and keys this August and a sample of the song "Shards in the Sand" is available at our Facebook page.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="New Sun on FB" href="http://www.facebook.com/NewSunBand" target="_blank" data-imported="1">New Sun on FB</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">You'll find the 2 minute sample in our Music Player box on the left side.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The songs are starting to move along toward completion and are sounding brilliant.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There will be a small private show in Nov/Dec. This will in fact be a dry run of our live show captured on video and in photos for later use. By invitation only and in limited number</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">More info to come in late September</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The "special announcement" planned for June has been delayed till the private show announcement in late September.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Cheers,</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">New Sun has been in studio a great deal over the months of June and July and saw them tracking drums and bass on 3 additional songs this past weekend at <a title="Blue Seven Audio" href="http://www.bluesevenaudio.com" target="_blank" data-imported="1">Blue Seven Audio</a>, CSC's recording studio. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Check out the gallery page for some studio shots.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">New Sun is also now on ReverbNation where you can purchase the two singles "She Moved Me" and "Damage Done" from 2009</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">CSC will spend the remainder of July recording guitars, keys and vocals, with mixing slated for August</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Look for the first song release in September 2010.</p>
New Suntag:new-sun.com,2005:Post/61457002010-05-26T12:00:00-12:002011-11-29T00:51:40-12:00June 2010
<p style="text-align: center;">We've been hunkered down in the studio for a while now and apologize for not staying touch more often. Just having fun and working hard on the new material.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Miscreants, Chasm City, and Dreams are nearing completion. Only vocals left to do. That leaves Shards in the Sand, and Anti-Gravity(formerly Shaman) for major overdubs and vocals. There will also be remixes of our two releases from last year Damage Done and She Moved Me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There have been rumors alluding to a major announcement from the band circulating . . . the rumors will be laid to rest in mid-June.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We can also be found on Reverbnation now. One can buy the releases from last year at that site.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">More news to come shortly.</p>
New Suntag:new-sun.com,2005:Post/61456992010-03-25T12:00:00-12:002011-11-29T00:51:40-12:00Recording
<p style="text-align: center;">Tracking on the four songs listed in the previous news flash went very well indeed. The new Gretsch drumkit sounds positively epic! Tru and Alex did a fantastic job laying down the basics. Each tune has a nice live vibe and feel to them. As always New Sun shoots for a very organic feel. Something sadly missing from most of today's popular music. Over edited, autotuned and squashed to death seems to be the norm.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">As usual New Sun sands against the grain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Now it's CSC's turn to hunker down and layer his guitars, keys and vocals over everything. Things are hoppin at Blue Seven Audio. The place is a tangle of cables, cabinets and guitars. Enter at your own risk. (Pix on the Gallery page)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Recent interview with <a title="Geddy and Alex of RUSH" href="http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/More_Shows/Radio/A_Conversation_with_Rush/ID=1445449710" target="_blank" data-imported="1">Geddy and Alex of RUSH</a> was an affirmation of New Sun's own beliefs and attitudes toward composition, writing and music in general.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There will be some short rehearsal recording samples up here and on our <a title="facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/NewSunBand" target="_blank" data-imported="1">Facebook</a> page over the next week.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There's rumor of a major announcement concerning the band coming in April - for the moment "no comment" is all that has been heard. Stay tuned and in good intonation.</p>
New Suntag:new-sun.com,2005:Post/61456982010-03-07T12:00:00-12:002011-11-29T00:51:40-12:00In Studio
<p style="text-align: center;">It has been awhile since we last spoke.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Been a wee bit busy getting ready for recording. New Sun heads into the studio March 12th to start recording 4 songs for the forthcoming CD. Been a year of prep and other happenings, but we are finally here. On the slate for tracking are "Shards in the Sand", "Chasm City", "Dreams (working title)", and "Miscreants (working title)".</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The latter has been on our playlist for almost 8 years, waiting patiently to be brought forth into the world. There will be short samples of some rehearsals recorded up here at the site briefly over the course of this week and next, so watch for them, as they will come and go like a proverbial dog in heat.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Check out our <a title="facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/NewSunBand" target="_blank" data-imported="1">facebook</a> page for other samples and to touch base with us on a more regular basis</p>

<p>the 2nd decade of the 21st century has arrived . . . with a whimper. But things are looking bright at Blue Seven Audio (CSC's workspace) as New Sun looks to record two songs this month. "Shards in the Sand" looks at the building and crumbling cycles of human societies. "Chasm City" (based loosely upon the book by Alastair Reynolds) looks at the confusion of an assassin on another world, who's not too sure of his prey or himself. Work upon "Mistakes"(working title) and "Dreams" (working title) continues this month as well. Stay tuned for an announcement. Happy 2010!</p>

<p>Merry Christmas and here's to a better year in 2010.
We'll definitely be heard more in the coming year!

<p>Seems like we've been away for a while . . . we're just working like dogs these days.
We're recording Chasm City and Shards in the Sand in prep for mixing in January. The hope is to have an EP in early 2010 and full CD Summer 2010.
Like good single malt scotch, things must age for a while before their at their best.</p>

<p>Rehearsals are going slow and productive. As usual, life gets in the way pretty much every week.
We've been spending a lot of time on the song "Shaman". Nothing like a little 5/4 meter to keep it interesting.
Feeling good about the song "Chasm City". One of the more complex and odd songs we've ever done.
It will be September before any further recording occurs as we've all had a busy August.
New Sun is now available on iTunes -Japan.</p>
New Suntag:new-sun.com,2005:Post/61456922009-06-05T12:00:00-12:002011-11-29T00:51:40-12:00Summer 2009
<p>Today marks the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings in France. In 1986 I stood on those beaches and was struck with the enormity and cost of that day.
Damage Done was written for those who come home with no physical wounds, but wounded nontheless.
Damage Done and She Moved Me will be available for purchase via iTunes and this site July 2009.
Progress on the new CD is happening, but often slowed by the events of living life.
We're currently working on tracking the following songs:
Chasm City
Shaman
Dreams
Mistakes
Shards in the Sand
Our CD catalog is now fully available on iTunes-Japan</p>
New Suntag:new-sun.com,2005:Post/61456912009-04-06T12:00:00-12:002011-11-29T00:51:40-12:00EP/Distribution
<p>Well, as usual in this business, things change!
The EP has been put on hold due to distribution negotiations. Distribution digitally worldwide will be handled by The Orchard and will begin in June.
The band continues to work on recording and writing new material for a full length CD. Currently the first two singles "Damage Done" and "She Moved Me" are available for streaming on the music page.
Request them from your favorite prog-rock radio station as they have been distributed through Airplay Direct worldwide.
Stay Tuned for next week's adventure.</p>

<p>On February 2nd the single Damage Done will be available for free download on our music page for 24 hours.
Due to pending distribution agreement, the release of Damage Done and She Moved Me will be delayed until further notice. The two songs will be released as an EP with an additional special bonus track in late February, early March.
Check back here for further updates.</p>
New Suntag:new-sun.com,2005:Post/61456892008-12-27T12:00:00-12:002011-11-29T00:51:40-12:00New Single!
<p>Yes, I know it's hard to believe . . . but it is here.
Damage Done will be the first song from the forthcoming CD and clocking in at 7:24 it's our idea of what a single should be.
You'll find a 2:00 sample on the music page right now.
The single will be released on February 2nd for free all day. On February 3rd the single download will be priced at .99¢.
Also to be released on 02.02.09 is the song She Moved Me, which is being mixed as we speak. This will also be available for 24 hours before pricing is set at .99¢ a download.
Release date for CD is still pending, but expected by early Spring 2009.
Cheers,
New Sun
Release of CSC's EP This World has been rescheduled for 2009. Though, if you ask nicely, one can obtain a copy of the original re-mastered EP on CD for $5.00 plus shipping. Single downloads are .99¢</p>
