Bio: Rising Sun began January 2007 in New Orleans, LA , when Joe Graves and Tim Land happened to both be looking to assemble bands, and came across each others "WANTED" ads and realized that they were a winning combo. After going through 3 drummers, and 2 bass players over the course of just a few months, Tim and Joe finally came across Josiah Bullock and Mike Silvestri via a chance meeting with old mutual friends. After a month of jamming, the guys realized that they finally had their dream line-up and were able to take their act to the people.Because of the tremendous amount of buzz the band had gain from a 2-song EP containing acoustic versions of "Daisy Chain" and the single "My Mistakes",the band played their very first show as headliners to a packed house. The band was an instant success and has gone on to perform as such places as New Orleans famous Tipitina's club, and the lengendary Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood. You can find the guys touring throughout the southeast, with a full national tour in the works.
