Much terrific brouhaha has been written in the music blogsphere about Sonny Smith’s band Sonny & The Sunsets.

In 2007 singer & songwriter Smith formed the band with help from friends Shayde Sartin & Tim Cohen (of the Fresh & Onlys), Tahlia Harbour (of Citay and The Dry Spells), Ryan Browne and Kelley Stoltz (Sub Pop) among others. Together the band recorded the charming Tomorrow is Alright, all captured on a classic 1970′s 388 Tascam tape recorder. With a dash of Modern Lovers, some slappy folky doo-wop, 50′s infused Velvet Underground jams and and boatloads of charm and endearment, Sonny & the band have managed to gain a loyal following of dizzying passionate fans. You could become one, too.

It was recently announced that album is being released Fat Possum on August 31st. The album was originally released in November 2009 on Soft Abuse and thankfully is now seeing even greater light of day.
