Pale Sunday is a Brazilian indie pop band.

It all started in the late 90s when two friends (Luiz Gustavo and Sineval) decided to form the band. They share a common passion for Sarah Records and indie music in general.

After self released cassette demo called "Dreamscape" and the CDEP "Everything Starts When You Smile", they recorded an EP 'A Weekend with Jane' in April 2003. It was released on Matinée Recordings. The next release was 'Summertime', an album which came out in April 2005; also on Matinée Recordings. This earned lots of great reviews from around the world.

There are also songs on two Matinée compilations, 'Matinée 50!' (matinée50), and also a cover version of The Smiths 'Romantic and Square is Hippy and Aware'.

In early 2007 the band was reformed with the addition of Tiago Fuzz (guitar) and Gustavo Az (drums); longtime friends and fans.

Pale Sunday's new line-up performed several gigs over the next two years. Meanwhile new songs were written and tried out during the gigs.

Finally the long awaited "Shooting Star EP" is ready! Four brand new indiepop songs for indiepop kids. You can check on Matinée Recordings right now!

"Close your ears, mother, Pale Sunday are playing."

A Layer of Chips

"Their songs find a perfect balance between the classic rules of tweepop and a wide array of harmonic and melodic inventions."

Indiepop.it

"The four songs on the group's debut EP breeze past on a cloud of pleasant nostalgia for bands like the Chesterfields, the Field Mice, and East Village -- bands that jangled nicely and harmonized and wore sweaters. The members of Pale Sunday probably don't wear a lot of sweaters, but their music does."

All Music Guide

"These guys are a shoe-in for best new band for 2003!"

Indie Pages

"Projeto paulista true-indie de respeito, (.) O pulsar das canções é britânico, com influências maciças dos anos 80 e 90, como Jesus and Mary Chain. "

"Untitled 2" - Probably the most beautiful and melancholic song they've

ever composed. Ultra-lo-fi acoustic version included as a hidden

track in Dreamscape.
