Sunset Embassy is a 5-piece,  rock band which formed at GRR's Adult Camp in March 2019. In a very short time, our band has grown extremely tight, falling in love with Sunset Embassy as a project. After writing their first song, “Holy Disaster,” during the weekend-long camp, the band followed up with our next song, “Zipper Merge,” in summer 2019 and recorded both original songs in Fall 2019. Since then the band has written many more originals and is heading into the studio to record their first album in Fall 2023.  

 

All members of Sunset Embassy have experience in other artistic disciplines such as visual art, dance, poetry, design, media arts, and music. As a shared project, Sunset Embassy allows band members to express their stories and experiences in a new way. 

 

As women and non-binary folks in their  40s -- three mothers, two Indigenous women, and three queers -- society does not encourage them to pursue their creative interests, take up space, and be loud about their personal experiences. Sunset Embassy enables these humans to do all of these things together. In making music that reflects their personal experiences, they bring a variety of under-represented perspectives and identities to Regina’s local music scene. In the context of a scene that is still largely dominated by young, white, cis men, the existence of Sunset Embassy has the capacity to be disruptive, and to make space for others of diverse identities to participate.
