late night writing sessions..

..always good to have a Les Paul nearby to caress and manipulate at 3:33 in the morning..because that's when the good ideas wake up...new songs are on the way..
peace.love.and.insomnia..

fast times at surise skyline..

it has been a wild few weeks indeed..we're hard at work in the studio and at rehearsals creating new music and forging new musical paths..still injured..and slightly traumatized, we have embraced the old addage, "the show must go on" ..and it is at this point I would like to thank Jon Preddice, Vinny Costantino and John Rienzi who've helped us out tremendously while Nick and Jay have been healing up..those were some exceptionally fun shows..different line-ups and skeleton crews..but we rocked..thanks guys....

We here at Sunrise Skyline would also like to take a second to acknowledge the return of Andy Pettitte..number 46..welcome back..you were sorely missed....I love you..

but yea..baseball is back!! and that means awesome weather..and BBQ's ..soon there'll be beach days and all sorts of outdoor events..

New Tracks and New Videos coming soon!!

Check y'all later!!

Sweet Gig..

Hey..so we were in the St. Joe's Battle of the Bands and we came away with the first place honors with a little help from our friends...Jon Preddice from Miles to Dayton took over guitar duties(hee hee..I said doody's) and he was superb as always..and Marissa Shultz was the lady who told us about the event and gave us the info to get involved..so thanks guys!! ..we also got the oppurtunity to play with a bunch of really talented and creative bands who we befriended and can hopeflly do more with..so def keep an eye out for that!!  ..and of course we got the chance to play for a bunch of beautiful new faces and some gorgeous familiar ones too which makes it a worth it...we love you all...

So..we've been in the studio a lot and by studio..of course I am speaking of On Track Studios..and we've been laying down all sorts of new material.. well coming up soon..we're gonna head out and make a music video for a brand new sng that we just finished up..(well..not finished exctly..but at least it's written..sort of) ..to head up the video will be none other than our very good friend Eric "Deebs" Deibner ..check out some of the other work he's done with us in our Videos section.. have a great day!!

Injury Plagued Season..

How old are we? ..I mean, Hot Damn!! ..we're falling apart over here at Sunrise Skyline..Anthony stubbed his little pinky toe and nearly broke the damn thing off(I'm exaggerating..but not that much..) ..Jon was in a car accident, and then got sick..in fact we all got sick..Nick broke the pinky on his fretting hand..and he is now recovering from surgery on the broken pinky..and Jay is getting surgery on his shoulder pretty soon...Ken seems to be the only one of us keeping himself right...good for you Kenny..well, despite all these mishaps and unfortunate events, we're just gon' keep movin' along..so hopefully you guys can catch us in the gigs and see who from the local music community will be lending a hand to keep the music alive..just a few of the local greats that will be sharing their unique gifts with us are Jon Preddice, who will be taking over guitar duties on Friday March 9th at the St. Joe's Battle of the Bands ..and John Rienzi will be slapping some skins for us at McCarthy's Pub on St. Patty's Day!!  ...hope to see y'all real soon!!  Be well..take better care of yourselves then we did...peace.love.and.band-aids...

If you'd like to send us some love..head over to our Guestbook ..
And of course there are plenty of sweet Photos and Videos to please your eyeballs..

Week in Review..

Felt like this week flew ..two gigs came and gone..good gigs..all the while Sunrise Skyline was experiencing a decent little cold ..I guess we came back from Puerto Rico with more than just tans...thought Jon's vocal chords were actually gong to leave his body on Saturday night at the Velvet Lounge..but Jon, being the super hero that he is, came through and the show went on..but we're feelin' it..if you have any great recipes for chicken soup or any great home remedies jot 'em down on our Guestbook ...thanks guys!  ..take care see y'all around..peace.love.and.kleenex..

You Gave Us Quite a Scare, Jon..

Let me just start by saying that Jon is feeling just fine... Yesterday, February 15th our own Jon March was in a pretty serious car accident on his way home from work..we're very grateful, and very happy that he walked away relatively unharmed...to those higher powers at work here..and Jon's plain dumb luck..we thank you..let Jon know you care..send him some love on our Guestbook..

Jon would also like to apologize for the traffic that you may have experienced on the L.I.E. yesterday caused by said accident and subsiquent rubber-necking..

Jon couldn't make it to rehearsal last night(for obvious reasons) ..but the rest of us managed to trek on without him and we put together another cool tune that perhaps we'll let y'all hear real soon...

Fiesta En Puerto Rico

Hey friends...so good to be talking to you all oce again..we were not around very much of late..we needed to get off this island and onto another..we inhabited Puerto Rico for a little while...but hey we're back and it was just the inspiration and relaxation that we needed..so keep an eye out because we're going to be inhabiting quite a few venues around the long island real soon..back to the studio..back to the grind..cheers y'all..

It's Flippin' Cold Out..

Christmas is almost here..I've done, like, no shopping..I don't even know what to get anyone..maybe I'll just write everyone on my list a song..boom..great idea........

Does anyone else hope that Ryan Braun didn't do any PED's(performance enhancing drugs)..it would be a real shame if he did...to comment about this..or whatever else you have on your mind.. check out our Blog ..it's got all sorts of cool stuff..

And hey!  We're playing at the Velvet Lounge on Saturday night(December 17th) ..it's gonna be rock! ..for more information on this and any other shows check out our Calendar ..hope to see y'all around!  peace.love.and.earmuffs...

Fare Thee Well, Hubert..

It was sad to wake up the other day and see that a friend had posted on Facebook, that one of the last real great bluesmen, had passed on...Hubert Sumlin's snarky yet sophisticated guitar playing set the perfect backdrop for Howlin' Wolfs raw vocal abilities on so many crucial recordings..both Nick and myself(Anthony) have been listening to those records for a good long time and we wouldn't be doing what we do..a lot of people(guys like Page and Plant..Keif an' Mick..and Clapton... all big fans..) wouldn't be doing what they do if it weren't for Hubert Sumlin..may he rest in peace....


Hubert lived to be 80 years old....hot damn! that's a long time to have the blues!! 



hey if you haven't seen us in a while take a look-see at an Srsl Sessions.. or peep some Photos ..hey it's been a pretty decent off-season..these "Miami Marlins" might be pretty good...

Turkey ...amoung other things..

Happy Thanksgiving!! ..although..technically it's not Thanksgiving ..so..I hope you HAD a sweet Turkey Day ...
We played a little gig at the Brickhouse on Wednesday night..and holy balls ..it was the bomb..so I would like to take this time to thank Jimbo and Larry and the rest of the lovely folk at the Brick..also Mr. Don Nostrand and Tom Gronenthal for doing the sound and lights for the night..and also Everything Grey who really wowed me and the rest of the guys as they started the night off ..they have a great sound that can be light and folk-ie and also get pretty aggressive and powerful..check them out ..they're real good..and of course the crowd was AMAZING!! ..hope y'all had as much fun as we did....anyway.. it's just about  five in the a.m. on Black Friday ..and songs and ideas are getting jotted and realized..it's good to be in this band..have y'all heard Jay yet? ..you will..we're back in the studio.. at our old friend Tom's place.. laying down a few new tunes and maybe an old gem for good measure..hopefully that's available to all y'all real soon... oh and stop by our Guestbook and wish Nick(our resident old guy) a speedy recovery ..you see Nick tried to go all Jim Edmonds at a pick-up Softball game a few weeks ago and he broke his pinky in two spots!! ..so for those of you who saw us last night at the Brick..Nick played that whole set with a pretty broken pinky (on his left hand!!)  ..so show the man some love!! ..and we promise to get some new Srsl Sessions up here soon..until then..peace.love.and.tryptophan
