As all of you know we've stepped out of the stage lights as of lately with the exception of some shows with Velveteen here and there. It's been an inner journey as well as a daily struggle just to pay the bills left from the first album. Stress has been placed on everyone, but not all has been a loss. We have become stronger, deeper, and more connected.
I just want to let you know that we've had some amazing people coming in and are feeling the sun starting to shine again.
January 30th we're playing the Winter Carnival with a potential of Grand Ol Day this summer. We have a couple of new faces that we'll be showing in the near future. During our free time we've been working on new material for the second album.
During this absence we've heard a lot from many different people including writers and critics and the reactions we have had are basically all the same. Great music...you can figure out the rest. So, before I give you vision loss from squinting at this screen I'll let you go.
I really want to thank all of you who have, and continue to believe in the music of Sunshine Behavior and what it stands for. May the sunshine shine upon last nights behavior. Enough said, see you all very soon. All my love and thanks, Jimmy (Sunshine Behavior)

This is the first time that I've blogged in a while. I know that for anyone that reads my personal blogs you may have come to know that they're from the heart but also a little sad. One may also assume that there are plenty of reasons for a bummer of a blog here as well. For the few people that were hoping for that sad saga continuing I'm forever sorry (OK, just for a little bit:).
For any of you looking to get inside of our heads and/or the studio after the change here's a glimpse. For starters there was a lot of internal assessment and analyzing not only within the walls of the band but also within members. The first couple of weeks weren't easy but change often isn't. Justin and I have both recently came across a new vein in the collective mind that is the music of Sunshine Behavior. Just last night the studio came alive with amazing music from Justin, Jeremy and I. I honestly can't believe the sweet, catchy, emotional and powerful music that was as thick as fog in the room. No, it wasn't Justin's fragrant arse either. This was something that had gotten set aside when the mood to sing wasn't right. Basically if song ideas were women we would have about 10 or so pregnant ladies about to burst. I never thought I would compare new song ideas to pregos but everything has its moment i guess:)
So you may want to know what we're doing about our missing member. At this point I can't really spill the beans but I will tell you that were working with some AMAZING guys and gals who are ready to go to the next level with us. Some of you maybe concerned with what will happen to the sound but just remember that all of the music and vibe of Sunny B is here and only getting stronger and when we introduce the next member you will just how very very far from failing we are. I've been in this scene longer than a lot of people and I'm also my own worst critic of any work I'm involved in and I have to tell you that this is for the best of Sunshine Behavior and our frans and I couldn't be prouder than I am now. Thanks to all of you for your continual support and also to Justin and Jeremy for riding out what looks more and more like a speed bump in the career of Sunny B.
More soon!
Loves- Jimmy
p.s. we don't take our responsibilty of giving Kelly Money sweet sweet music to shuffle to lightly. see below

i can only offer you the truth i know in my heart. i can't promise you anything but that what you read here is what comes from the deepest depths of my heart, mind and soul. i'm sitting back in my chair with a mind nearly numb from my vehicle to my happiness wrapped around a tree. at this point i'm just waking and realizing what just transpired. shock is the first thing that i'm aware of. i'm foggy from the blow but in the moments of nothing else i'm feeling clarity that i haven't felt for a while. i remember the feeling of building this dream or project or band. i remember the beginning again and why i did it all the first time. again i find myself shaking my head and trying to decide if this is real again...
well, it's real. i'm not going to name call or sound like a child and rip someone apart. just tuesday night while treating jeremy to a pitcher of beer for his b-day i received a message from my best friend asking me to meet him in the bulldog in uptown to discuss something important. i found my friend shaking and crying sharing things with me that were devastating and seemingly out of the blue.
harley went on to tell me hes been courting and involved the idea of another band for the last two months. i was in such shock that i showed nothing. i was waiting for the "if this doesn't work/change i have to go" speech. after all i've been his best friend and through so much for so long friend. i was crushed but still in shock listening with foggy but precise detail to the words that flew out of him and ran through my head in slow motion.
"i'm leaving the band". "i have an opportunist of a lifetime". "i have to do this for me". "you're my best friend". these phrases continued to round my head the rest of the night. i asked whom it was he was leaving all of the work, progress, love and struggle we've made together for and he told me...
what i was really asking for is to "just gimmie some truth".- thanks john lennon.
what i got is a long story of the grass is greener on the other side of the fence like a tour bus, big investor, a tour, a record, and the professionalism they had to offer him. i thought we just released our first cd? i thought that we just got offers to play before a national act in indiana for good cash and new fans. i forgot about the offer to play scsu homecoming with sick of sarah etc... etc...
i cant change his thoughts and i'm sad that this is how he wants to do it. harley has chosen to work with far from falling, you can hear them on myspace. they're working with kenetic music which ironically the same booking agency that harley vowed never to play with again. i'm not even sure if he knows that he's working with them. oh well. i wish him the best after all he is my best friend.
this is not my first experience with a singer leaving because of reasons similar to this, but i do hope its the last. i guess to be honest they keep getting better and more responsible every time. i hope harley will fulfill his commitments that he agreed to play (4 shows) to at least pay back my mother who has helped us so much and has 1,000+ on her credit card trying to help us. the rest i guess maybe left to me to absorb if harley doesn't honor his obligations. i won't get into the contract details.
I want to say i and we have been through worse. it's not over and again i and we will stand up for what is right for all parties and leave no one behind for that my friends is the core essence of sunshine behavior.
I love you and so do the rest of the guys. keep an eye on this site because changes are coming. we've survived the crash and on our way to being stronger, smarter, and more skillful.
i can only hope harley choose to finish the shows he has already agreed to do and make things right on his departure. return love to those that have loved you my friend. that will be his mark on exit and i hope its the best friend making the decision.
thanks to you and all our love,
jimmy

Ok, do here it is kids. This is the info coming from Slim Daddy J. Jeremy is and has been done with his amazing drum tracks for a while now. Slim Daddy Jimmy (me) has had my bass or is it bass lines done for some time also. Harley Wood has 1 song lett to record (Vicodon Vicky), but is waiting for Justin (speedy) to finish his guitar tracks. This is has been so much more of a project than we had ever thought it to have been. Lies aside, a lot of it has been our fault in one way or another and the process has really shown who has the shit together and who doesn’t. I think that a lot of truth comes out of a situation like this. There is so so much detail that there really isn’t any room for bullshit, which even i have come to appreciate.
Cutting to the chase... We met with an amazing friend of mine Brian amd he’s taking the lead on our album work. I’ve seen his work and it’s amazing. The album will have around 12-14 tracks depending on how they all turn out. We’ve got some people that may be laying some organ tracks and viola parts down to add to the flavor. I’ve spoke with the Fineline and we’re hosting our c.d. release there this July. The exact date will be set in the next couple weeks. Thank you for all the continued love and support. This album and every drop of sweat on stage is all that we have to return to you. We all hope you like it.
We’re starting off with 1,000 copies will that work?
Slim Daddy Jimmy Jam
