"Beatdown hardcore band Sunami are just too much-too loud, too violent, too hardcore-so it's not surprising to find out they started as a joke meant to parody the over-the-top extremes of the SF Bay Area scene, with their original intent being to play only three gigs, a premiere, a break-up show and a reunion."
"When a video of them playing their first gig before an intense mosh pit at a tiny, overfull house show went viral, they immediately started receiving invitations to play shows and festivals with the same bands they were affectionately ridiculing."
Sunami are a beatdown hardcore band defined by extreme loudness and violence. The band started as a joke intended to parody the over-the-top extremes of the SF Bay Area scene and initially planned only three gigs: a premiere, a break-up show, and a reunion. A video of their first gig, which captured an intense mosh pit at a tiny, overfull house show, went viral. The viral exposure generated immediate invitations to play shows and festivals alongside the same bands they had been ridiculing. Upcoming performance: Sat, Dec 27, 8pm at San Jose Civic; tickets $48–$60.
