Church Of Sun

Church Of Sun reunite to play The Wayfarer on November 2, 2024 in Costa Mesa, CA!

Brutally honest, texturally raw, and absolutely wild in a live setting, Church of Sun is unlike any local OC or Long Beach band I’ve seen in a long time. The fact this eclectic group is comprised of seven hooligans exuding many levels of musical and artistic talent is just the base of their appeal. On lead vocals are the slightly insane Josh Cairns and Melissa Vexler, with Kevin Burwick on guitar (as well as behind the scenes as engineer and mixer), Brandon Villegas on keys, vocals, and guitar, Jaclyn Bassaline on bass and vocals, Jayson Gera on drums, and Drew Selna rounding the sound out with percussion and vocals.

With that sizable combination, trying to pinpoint exactly how to categorize this crazy bunch is quite a task considering the diversity and range of their dynamics. Traces of punk, mixed with desert rock, LA psych, folk rock, and straight up rock ‘n roll makes a musical cocktail that will knock you on your ass, then entice you get back up and ask for another round of that good shit. The group doesn’t really care much about fame and fortune, which gives them a no-bullshit attitude that is refreshing and actually makes their music even more alluring. - OC Weekly
