25.01.2022 We wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Mojos Bar Fremantle. Chuck em some coin to help ensure they open up once this all blows over. They let us play 4 open mic monday nights in a row back in the day, so god knows we owe them. Donate : https://au.gofundme.com/f/mojo039s-needs-your-help... Here's us eating some chippies in the beer garden last time we played there.

24.01.2022 Thanks to triple j for opening Homed and Hosed with our latest single 'Gimmicks' yesterday. Today also marks the 3 year anniversary of releasing the video for 'Bad Girl' from our 2nd album - Industry Connections. It's a hell loopy video and gets pretty silly and twisted, check it out below. Couldn't have turned out as good as it did without Gravy Baby and all those involved in the camera/lighting/sound crew, so we're eternally grateful to them!!!
24.01.2022 'DISTRACTIONS' HAS JUST PREMIERED. Thanks so much to James at Weirdo Wasteland for the great write up, its a nail-on-head analysis. "Hideous Sun Demon have pivoted from the psych-fuzz of their earlier releases, crafting a gripping post-punk churner that explores our constant need for a diversion from life’s underwhelming reality."...

23.01.2022 Vin was productive & smashed out a zippy lo-fi punk EP during iso. He dropped it on Bandcamp today, go have a listen. He probably won't share it here so we will. EUGH: https://eughtheband.bandcamp.com/releases
22.01.2022 Bandcamp are waiving some fees to help artists with dosh because of the 'rona situation. Tee It Up Screen Printing just finished this aussie run of our Good Time tee's so you can now find them online again. Grab em in black or white, limited sizes. 'We may have lost our virgin travel-credits, but we won't lose the war' https://hideous-sun-demon.bandcamp.com//good-time-uk-euro-
21.01.2022 Lordy, can you believe its been 4 years since we dropped the 'Cul-de-sac vision' video? This tune introduced our 2nd album which we now remember as 'the noisy one'. Couldn't have made it happen without the amazing directing of Jacob/Elliot as well as the camera crew, production assistants & volunteers put together by LOSER UNIT

12.01.2022 happy birthday to bossman Andy. Since joining the band he's quickly learnt the back-catalog of tunes, recorded 9 songs with us, taken up managerial roles & come on both an Aussie & our 1st European tour. On-top of that he kills the drums. Thanks for being unwaveringly positive despite our sometimes jaded & cynical outlooks. Love ya Here's a video that probably shouldn't have taken that long 2 make.
11.01.2022 Johnston Street are streaming our 'Good Time' EP launch from last year at The Tote. Catch it on their website tommorrow 6PM AEST. These guys are super supportive of the melb scene & it's real nice of them to record/share this set which captures some of the fun before this corona induced slump. https://www.johnstonstreet.net//premiere-hideous-sun-demon
11.01.2022 It's Antithesis's 2 year anniversary. Happy Anti-versary? Antithe-versary? Anyway big love to Billy Bowen Carnac Island for filming & editing. Filmed on a fancy google pixel phone. Featuring Blake n Vin goofing around freo, wheelbarrows & hanging on the roof & Jake getting pulled over by cops.
05.01.2022 "A high-powered piece which overflows with post punk and synthpunk verve, and finds the band channeling the angst and the nerve for which modern times call" Cheers for getting around the new tune Destroy//Exist ! http://www.destroyexist.com//hideous-sun-demon-distraction... Listen ere: https://ffm.to/hsd-distractions
03.01.2022 Thanks so much to Adi & Paz of Baby Satan Records for including 'Gimmicks' on their 3rd Compilation. They hosted us what feels like years ago-last september in Berlin, and we still can't thank them enough. Comp features The Pleasure Majenta Able Bodies Steppenkind Ninja Racers & heaps more. https://babysatanrecords.bandcamp.com//333-baby-satans-thi
02.01.2022 We're very humbled by the response from everybody to our latest single 'Gimmicks'! The days can be a bit of a drag in these trying times, so we hope you're all buttoning down the hatches and holding out for that day that live music is back in full force, however in the meantime check out this little burner
