Biography

Calico Sunset is a result of the union between Joseph and Jenny . Since joining, they have managed to create an eclectic breed of electro-pop.

Calico Sunset's debut album on VBM titled "Deep Deep Paranoia," was produced by the exceptional Frank Lenz (Starflyer 59). "Deep Deep Paranoia" not only featured Lenz's producing and playing talents, but also featured Map's Josh Dooley on guitar. Shortly after the release of "Deep Deep Paranoia," Calico Sunset was asked to join Tooth and Nail veteran Joy Electric on a nation wide tour.
