Hey folks, we got a new sponsor, Atomic Buzzard. They design and sell really cool t-shirts. They are helping us out with some t-shirt and album art.
Check out and like their FB page:https://www.facebook.com/AtomicBuzzard.
We are coming out of our song writing sessions in May to play some shows to pay the bills while we make the next album. Check out the tour dates page for details.
The online merchandise store is up, here is the link http://www.thebastardsuns.com/store/. We have limited stock at first, so be patient. What we have is our latest design and we have a few in most sizes of t-shirts and even less in hoodies. This is temporary and just the start of things. Unfortunately, it costs money to stock up our merch selections and we ain't exactly Scrooge McDuck swimming in our money safe over here. But, we now have the ability to sell merch on our website and the selection will only grow starting after the new year. We will be adding more designs, more color selections, more sizes, and other stuff like custom SSV vaporizers.
By the way we are offering FREE SHIPPING for the month of December to the US and Canada.

As many of you may already know, we said farewell to longtime bass player Levon recently. Don't worry though. Wes, JayTea and myself are not remotely ready to give up the ship just yet. We're actually just taking a few months to make some money, finish writing the new album, and try out some prospects for the vacant position.
And there's NO reason that YOU couldn't be one of those prospects! (As long as you're an amazing bass player with an unbelievable singing voice and the ability to learn music like Rain Man counts toothpicks.) But seriously folks, if you've ever wanted to see the country and you think you've got the chops, we're about as equal-opportunity as any employers you're likely to meet. If you know the songs, then you know there are some mighty big shoes to fill. So contact us via the website and give it a go-it could be the best decision you ever make.
Cheers and Happy Holidays from The Bastards!

Check out the first leg of the Fall Tour starting this week. Of course the hometown show in Atlanta will be huge but we can't wait to head out on the road.

It is in Denver at Casselmens on Oct. 13th, don't miss it.

The Bastard Suns are hitting the road this fall with a slew of dates from the East to the West coast and back again! As always, The Bastards will be bringing their earth-shaking live show to over 40 different markets all across this great nation. The tour kicks off in epic fashion at The Masquerade in Atlanta, and continues through October and most of November, covering ground from Florida through Texas and Colorado, all the way to California and Washington. The boys are teamed up with west coast heavyweights Knock-Out for the “All or Nada Armada” Tour. With help from tour sponsors Silver Surfer Vaporizers and Sacred Custom Percussion, the Armada will be sailing towards a city near you very soon.

Hello again everyone, its good to be back behind the keyboard.
Firstly, I must apologize for being so lax about finishing the tour blogs. (That is, of course, assuming anyone is actually reading this stuff in the first place.)
This particular blog will quickly explain why I've taken a few days for myself, so allow myself to explain...
Clay posted a blog about the Spring Tour, check it out here...
