Apollo Sunshine came together in Boston in 2003 and picked their name by tossing words around until something stuck, which tells you plenty about the band's loose, playful spirit. Katonah, their debut from that same year, is a gleeful jumble of alternative rock and daydreaming, and "I Was On The Moon" floats right out of it with its head in the clouds.
With Sam Cohen in the lineup, the band followed up with The Other Side of the World EP in 2005, home of "Today Is The Day", and a self-titled album the same year. Shall Noise Upon came in 2008, the last of their 3 albums. After that the band went quiet, and it has been inactive since 2010.
