“It’s definitely easier for a rock band to get into the mainstream in the UK than it is in America,” says Kivlen, who admits to being floored at seeing British fans singing the lyrics from their album at shows, despite it only having come out earlier in the month.

But the best way to know you’ve made it is when the smack-talkers pipe up, and Sunflower Bean are getting some of that too.

“I’ve seen people online saying things like ‘that guy [Kivlen] looks like Bob Dylan! F–k that!’” laughs Faber. “We’ve got to that point where people don’t think of us as humans anymore. But that’s good!” – [NY Post]

Sunflower Bean celebrated the release of their debut album, Human Ceremony, last Friday (2/27) at Bowery Ballroom, with fellow Brooklyn bands Honduras and Future Punx. Pictures from the whole night, plus a Spotify stream of the LP, are in this post.

Sunflower Bean and Honduras are on tour together and play Toronto tonight (3/1). They’ll both be heading, separately, to SXSW (Future Punx are too). All Sunflower Bean and Honduras tour dates are listed below.
