"The name started somewhere on a European tour I did with Elliott Smith. I can't remember," Sullivan says, thinking about how he earned the nickname that would quickly become his band's name. "Elliott said a little joke thing like, 'Hey Goldenboy.' Then (Smith's drummer) Scott McPherson's sister, Lisa, was booking a show in L.A. and they needed another band. Scott remembered me and told Lisa I was Goldenboy. Ever since then I've been Goldenboy.".....................................................................
If Shon Sullivan [Vox, guitar and keys for Elliott Smith, Neil Finn, Spain, The Eels,Matt Sharp] could explain his music, he probably never would have written it. Lucky for us, Goldenboy travels in a lush melancholy world that we can enter with them. This record promises a return to innocence even if lost again. Hooks can be deceiving with an unexpected blue note and you will experience a different, twisted take from Goldenboy's 'Blue Swan Orchestra'. The band tends to include their friends on their recordings, like the guest appearance by Elliott Smith on their song "Summertime". Who knows who shall appear on the next record? Retro- poetic, quirky and haunting, Goldenboy hails from the micro infamous 'Diamond Bar' of Southern California. Goldenboy embarked on a major U.S. tour opening for The Rentals and Copeland during the summer of 2007 and recently completed a UK tour performing around London and Edinburgh. Plans for a new album and tour(s) in 2009 are currently underway.
