Red Sun formed in late summer of 1997 from the remains of the recently defunct bands The Fuse and Snoit. After spending the Fall writing songs they played their first show on December 5th at Sparks. The first half of 1998 was spent playing shows in Louisville and out of town building up their fanbase. They released a self titled 5 song EP on November 1st, 1999 at a show with Seaside Panel and Metroschifter. It was well received and aided the band in booking more out of town dates including a tour in Summer 1999 of scattered dates across the eastern half of the United States. Much of the band’s time throughout the end of 1999 and into 2000 was spent writing and recording demos of new material intended for a 7�? record (tentatively titled “Action�?) and a full length record. Neither of these releases saw the light of day as internal pressures caused the band to split in June of 2000. Red Sun played it’s last show on June 23rd at Highland Baptist Church in Louisville. Red Sun regrouped for a reunion show on March 15th, 2002 to celebrate the release of “Wired�?, a CD collection of their album and 7�? inch demos, as well as “Live in the Southend�? which was a 9 song recording of their set from the 2000 March/Southend show at Shockers. | Red Sun formed in late summer of 1997 from the remains of the recently defunct bands The Fuse and Snoit.
