They told us we needed to switch our demographic, so by order of the marketing department, this is the new "us" this week! Thank you for your understandin', "y'all!" #bleedingverse

To everyone who claims Sutem Min is not a "real band," well, you literally cannot make this stuff up!

It seems that people are quick to forget the horrible truth of what really happened to this very real, very human rock band! Don't let disinformation agents cloud the real history of the most incredible rock band that ever lived!
It is with heavy hearts that we must announce some horrible news!

This would be funny, except all four members of The Velvet Sundown were killed in a tragic plane crash at the beginning of August, a mere one month after their roller-coaster ride to mega-stardom. So it's actually in horrendously poor taste!

Due to the tragic accident that claimed the lives of Orion, Gabe, Lennie, & Milo, the other members of Sutem Min agreed to postpone release of these incredible works of human musicianship during the 30 day Sheloshim period of mourning. We're coming out of "stealth mode" today!
