Sun Domingo - CD Release - The World's Alive

Sun Domingo held their CD release party at Charlottes' Evening Muse this past Thursday night. Their latest CD titled "The World's Alive" features 10 original tunes including my favorite - "Santa Teresa". The band has really come together with a rich sound that is all their own.

Band members are Jason Pomar, Edgel Groves Jr., and Nathan Lathouse. To see band info, lyrics & tour dates visit http://www.sundomingo.com/ .

Additionally several songs from the new CD can be heard at the bands MySpace page, http://www.myspace.com/sundomingo

Sun Domingo

Perhaps you've heard of Sun Domingo? From the packed house showing at The Evening Muse thursday night I thought I was the only person in Charlotte that had not. One certainty is that I won't soon forget them. Wow - that's a word that might sum up my thoughts after listening to them for an hour. This three piece rock band out of Atlanta is a class act. Their sound includes ballads, a touch of blues, a little 70's rock style and some blistering hot rock n roll mixed throughout the set.

The band members include Jason Powers on Bass and lead vocals; Edger Groves on a smoking lead guitar; and one of the better drummers I've seen in a quite a while - Nathan Lathouse, who also provides some smooth backup vocals.

"A Song In Your Name" is one of their tunes that is sure to be a hit. It was certainly one of my favorites on the night. To hear it for yourself, visit their Myspace page and listen to a sampling of this bands talent.

The photos from their show can be found HERE - a link from my Musicians Gallery. The show was hot - hope you can see that within the images.

Cheers everyone,

Monty Chandler
