It's been a long, long time since the last Goldenboy record; four years in fact. Way back in 2006 the band's second album, Underneath the Radio, was warmly received just about everywhere and after about an eternity on the road, the band kind of took a break. What started out as a solo project for it's founder in 2003, Shon Sullivan while he played with Elliott Smith, ended up becoming something far more than something one person could handle. Flash forward eight years, and here's Goldenboy now as a full fledged five piece band complete with a brother/sister team up. [...]

Charles Latham (formerly Death Panel) will be opening for critically-acclaimed Goldenboy tonight at Millcreek Tavern. Latham's witty, self-deprecating material has been enjoying increased notoriety in the UK's underground music scene with the help of his track "Hard On", which has been covered and recorded by Scottish indie-folk bands Withered Hand (for the band's album Good News ) and Mersault, and in the US by Samantha Crain and many others. Latham has been steadily releasing a series of singles available exclusively in digital format. His most recent single is "Everybody Else Likes Me (Why Don't You)", which you can [...]

Shon Sullivan has played with everyone from the Eels and the Rentals to Elliott Smith and Neil Finn, but his main concern is Goldenboy, which just issued third album Sleepwalker (Eenie Meenie). Sullivan has said that the found footage in the video for the LP's title track helped inspire the song itself. Watch the clip [...]
"Different Moon" and "Rock 'n Roll All Night" definitely stood out as songs that showcased the band's individual strength, skill, and musical emotion. I fell in love with Goldenboy all over again.
Of great shows big and small: ► With a new album "Wit's End" on the way in April, singer-songwriter Cass McCombs plays the Center for the Arts in Eagle Rock, joined by Big Search and Frank Fairfield . ► Har Mar Superstar and Marijuana Deathsquads wind up their residency at the Satellite — and it's been quite a party — but the curiosity tonight is opener Samantha Ronson , performing with a live band. ► Sebadoh's "Bakesale/Harmacy Remembering Time Tour" moves across town to [...]

Goldenboy mastermind Shon Sullivan stretches out on "Sleepwalker," his third album (out this month) for L.A. based Eenie Meenie Records . The former sideman for Elliott Smith, Eels and the Rentals has always been stronger as a songwriter than a vocalist, and his arrangements prevail here, whether it's on full-on rockers like "Different Moon," wistful pop numbers like "Rock and Roll All Night," piano jaunts like "Lilac Afternoon" or the horn-infused "Body and Soul." Fans who were smitten by Sullivan's beautiful but melancholic "Underneath the Radio" (2006) will be happy to hear him here, coming out swinging. [...]

This week, there's only one album that gets The Wheel's Still In Spin's official recommendation. Goldenboy – Sleepwalker. Download "She Belongs to Me" (mp3). Goldenboy originally started as a side project for Shon Sullivan, who played in Elliott Smith's band. Sleepwalker, the band's third album, has a willowy pop sound. Its multilayered ear candy, as scrumptious as it is addictive. After the jump, there is also a list of more new releases from this week. Continue reading…

New material from Lipset and Initial MC of Duenday. This track was produced by The Golden Boy, and will be featured on his debut album, The Green Room . On top of that, this track is kind of a buzz-builder for the rerelease of Lipset's Level Heads LP . The entire album will be released for free, and he'll be putting out some music videos in the near future. Lipset & Initial MC: "Bottom of the Flyer"

I got some pretty rare stuff in my collection, Nothing super amazing, just some records that people forgot. Here's one of my favourites, Golden Boy's debut (and only) album featuring Miss Kittin: Or. You might remember it for the single "Rippin Kittin" which was quite popular. I was turned onto this release from Felix Da Housecat's Kittenz & Thee Glitz , another electroclash album featuring Miss Kittin. I had a torrented copy for a while (imports are expensive) but sure enough, I found it for sale in [...]

California native Shon Sullivan definitely wears his influences on his sleeve, or should we just say wears his home state on his sleeve. His band, which is mainly his work, Goldenboy are releasing their new record, Sleepwalker , on Eenie Meenie Records February 8th. There's a bit of a harboring spirit, but what follows through the entire album is sort of a ray of light, which is where once can tie in the mention of California, not to mention Shon's adoration for the [...]
