The Sunset Clefs

The Sunset Clefs - Dear Boy (clip)

Just a lil FYI… For those of you wondering “Sunset Clefs? WTF?!?” The name Sunset Clefs is a wonderful fusion of the names Sunset Cliffs, a lovely beach-side landmark here in San Diego, and the musical concepts of treble and base Clefs.  That would classify our name as a pun… YAY!!! The Clefs were conceived in December 2003 by one grad student and two undergrads at SDSU. Shortly after, in the Spring of 2004, we became a student organization and have been growing ever since.  We currently have fourteen “unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe” Clefs (members), but unfortunately, we have lost almost as many members to “collegiate ejaculation” (College Graduation) and other such mishaps.

Our performances range from campus wide, to city wide, to state wide (we have yet to make it country wide, but we will get there), and include some of the most popular pop songs in current pop culture. We perform mainly with Ivy League and top academic universities from the west coast such as UCSD and Stanford but we hold our own because, face it, we can teach them a thing or two…for, when it comes to doing it in front of an audience, we are among the best.   Sunset Clefs…orally satisfying SDSU since 2003. 

OH OH OH!!!! Groupies are exciting and wanted… So, check us out on MySpace.com: http://groups.myspace.com/SunsetClefs. Thanks for visiting the Clefs here at our website.
