Fading Sun Album Release Party

On May 8, The Damned and Dirty release their new album Fading Sun on vinyl and on stage.

Life has a way of breaking your rhythm. Of knocking the wind out of you and changing how you move through the world. These songs were written after that. Ten tracks shaped by the moment when things shift and you have to find your footing again.

For the release, Fading Sun is played live front to back, alongside older material, with intentionally minimal distance between band and audience.

Close enough to hear the breath before the note hits.

Let’s make it one of those nights that stays with you.
