The Sunday Painters will be performing at the tenth annual Metrotimes Hamtrack Blowout. The Blowout consists of 250 Detroit area bands performing at more than 20 venues, crisscrossing the quirky environs of Hamtramck — Detroit’s multi-culti town within a city — to create a frothy four-night stand of ear-bending music and liver-taxing mayhem. Again, that’s 250 bands in 20 venues in one postage-stamp sized town. The Sunday Painters will be performing at The Atlas Bar, 2363 Yemans in Hamtramck on Saturday, March 10th. |

The Sunday
Painters are a three-piece power pop band based in Detroit, Michigan.
Their sound can be described as having catchy, hook laden vocal melodies
and harmonies with hard edged guitars and a powerhouse bass and drum rhythm
section. Although they have been compared to some of today’s power
pop acts, you can also hear the influence of some of the best pop rock
acts from the 60’s in the Sunday Painter’s sound. Think Sloan/Fountains
of Wayne meets The Who/The Kinks. The Sunday Painters live for their performances,
but the band firmly believes that it all starts with great songs.
information about the band, listen to audio clips of Sunday Painters songs,
view photos and video from live shows and recording sessions and most
importantly, find out about upcoming shows. Every live show brings more
fans to the bands following and website. Along with their live shows and
website, the band maintains a mailing list and a street team to keep people
informed of upcoming events.
