Kenny Hickey of SUN DONT SHINE joins me on the podcast to discuss their latest single "Promise song" via Corpse Paint Records.
Kenny is no stranger to the industry as he is the guitarist of Type O Negative, Silvertomb, Danzing and more. Now he joins SUN DONT SHINE (formerly known as EYE AM) which is comprised of Kenny Hickey (Type O Negative, Silvertomb), Kirk Windstein (Crowbar, Down), Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative, Silvertomb) and Todd Strange(Crowbar, Down). SUN DONT SHINE channels decades of hard-earned experience into a fresh and uncompromising sonic assault. This isn't a group content to rest on their laurels; they’re here to push boundaries and forge a new path for modern rock music.
Kenny spoke to me about his experience writting for SDS, playing with Type O, how his wife has been inspiring his writing, and some very important guitar tricks any player needs to hear.
Check out what Kenny had to say and go listen to the new single "Promise song" Out Now!
