Eastern Sunz shed light on political and environmental issues that fail to be addressed in most rap music today. Hailing from Oregon, the Sunz are rapidly building a solid fan base nationwide and overseas. Formed in 2001, the Sunz have released four full-length albums including their latest work, Nine Triangles. In 2008 the Sunz toured in Europe and across the United States. In 2009 they completed a 5 week, 30 city tour, and they plan to release a new album in 2010.
Eastern Sunz FAQs
How did you guys meet?
We met at a fundraiser when we were both performing with different groups. We performed some songs together, and ended up collaborating in the future, and that eventually evolved into Eastern Sunz as we're known today.
How long have you guys been together?
We have been together as a group for almost 10 years. TravisT started out as a DJ, and after getting on the mic during a drunken freestyle on his birthday, eventually developed himself as an MC as well. Courage has been writing rhymes since he was in the third grade.
Where are you from?
We spent about 3 years in Seattle, and are currently residing in Portland, OR. Courage was born in Pasadena, CA, and moved around a few times before coming to Ashland Oregon. TravisT was born and raised in Medford, OR, went to college in Ashland, and spent a couple years in the Bay Area.
Where can I buy your music?
You can always buy our albums and merch at shows, but you can also buy our music all over the internet. Easternsunz.com, iTunes, and cdbaby.com are your best bet.
When are you coming to my town? / How can I book you? / How much would it cost to have you perform?
Keep checking the tour dates at easternsunz.com or myspace.com/easternsunz and chances are we will be coming to a town in your region at some point during the year.. If you would like to suggest a venue for us to play in your town, can help us line up a show, or having booking inquiries, please e-mail info@easternsunz.com.
Why are you called Eastern Sunz if you are from the West Coast?
This one is pretty straight forward. The sun rises in the East. Eastern Sunz is a metaphor for the collective consciousness rising.
Is your bitter rival Western Moonz real?
Yes. They are very real and they hate us. We have no idea what we ever did to them, and why they choose to harass us.

Would it have been too much to ask for you 2 to just slide off the road in a rainstorm into a shovel factory and have your faces stabbed by multiple shovels while you were on tour?
