[edit] Biography

Calico Sunset is a result of the union between Joseph Andreotti and Jenny Andreotti (formerly known as Alvis). Since joining, the Andreottis have managed to create an eclectic breed of Christian electro-pop. Not long after their formation, Calico Sunset found themselves playing a series of shows that resulted in their being signed to Jeff Cloud's (Starflyer 59 and Joy Electric) Velvet Blue Music. 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. After their last release title "If You Got It" (a self-released 7inch) The Andreottis have been playing fewer shows, and as of January 1st 2008 their myspace page has been deactivated, assuming they have have broken up Calico Sunset to focus their energy on their more mature alt-country/new-wave band The Grizzly Owls (who just released their self-released first full length album entitled "By Night on My Bed").
