Goldenboy

Shon Sullivan, who contributes vocals, guitar, and keyboard, fronts the soft indie pop project Goldenboy—an act whose name the late Elliott Smith happened to bestow on him without planning. His own work reflects the influence of and connections to Neil Finn, Elliott Smith, Matt Sharp, Johnny Marr, and the Eels. With Bryan Bos supplying drums and vocals, the pair comes from the Diamond Bar, CA area and has issued two albums: Blue Swan Orchestra in 2002 and Underneath the Radio in 2006, the latter featuring guest contributions from Finn, Lisa Germano, Scott McPherson, and Matt Sharp.
