Suneaters are an American psychedelic rock band formed in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2008. The band members include Scott Hartley, Chris Lost, Michael Judd, and Nick Carroll. Suneaters’ debut LP “One” was released in October 2011 on Lotuspool Records, an independent record label started by Chris Lost in the early 1990s.

History

Suneaters was formed by Chris Lost after returning to Kansas City, MO following the fallout of Los Angeles, California-based glam rock band, Dr.Doctor, which had consisted of G, artist Mark Silverberg, and writer/actor Michael McMillian. Hoping to follow in Dr.Doctor's footsteps, Lost recruited Scott Hartley, a local Dadaist, to play bass, and David Saab, a poet and attorney, on drums, to form a trio known as Suneaters.

After releasing Suneaters I in 2011, an experiment in pop and psychedelic noise, Suneaters recorded Suneaters XIII in 2012, a soundtrack for McMillian's short film, Charlie 13. The band then focused on playing live, attempting to rely less on pedals/electronics for sound. Through this exercise, the band created a stripped down album titled Suneaters II: Loving Relationship. For this album, released in 2015, Hartley and Lost recruited Chris Cardwell and Michael Judd.

To promote Suneaters II: Loving Relationship, W. Dave Keith made a video version of the entire album.

Suneaters released Suneaters XII: L’appel Du Vide in 2017. This album was composed of electronic dance tracks.

Suneaters cite their primary musical influences as SST Records, Led Zeppelin, Hanatarash, Flipper, INXS, Kool Keith, and Graham Nash.
