Sunset Cinema Club are a 3-piece band based in the Midlands, UK. The group originally came together in 2001, originally as a hobby under the name "Peachfuzz". However, they eventually changed the name to "Sunset Cinema Club" in 2002. The group's name "Sunset Cinema Club'" was taken from the name of a Birmingham-based adult cinema that the childhood friends would often think about going into, but never did. The groups sound has been coined by the NME as "Jitterpunk" and is born of a melting pot of influences, all prominent in the mix - ranging from early Post-Hardcore, Post-Punk, Funk n’ Soul, Jazzy Psychedelia and discordant Indie of the early 1990s.
Radio Acclaim
SCC have thrived off the support gained from admirers Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens and John Kennedy who have been playing various SCC demos on their respective radio shows for the past year – most notably the single Gojira Suit - which never made official release. In November 2006 they recorded their first Radio Session at Maida Vale Studios for Huw Stephens, and then another for John Kennedy at XFM in June 2007
