Hank Sullivant is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on February 3, 1983 in United States. Alejandro Crawford, a fellow UGA graduate, and Sullivant put on a performance-art show at Athens Cine titled “Homeopathic Grafting. This Awakening Dream Of Communication.” The title is a direct quotation from Jean Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation. Crawford, a poet, and visual artist, identified “Transmutilation” as the technique behind his long-form poetry Morpheau. In 2009, Sullivant described Kuroma’s music in a video interview as “transmutilation.”
As of 2013, Kuroma’s lineup was Sullivant, Simon O’Connor, James Richardson and Will Berman. The band made its third album, Kuromarama, produced by Ben Goldwasser of MGMT, and opened for MGMT on its North America tour in the spring of 2013. Sullivant was scheduled to fill in on guitar at several summer festivals for MGMT’s Andrew VanWyngarden, who was recovering from shoulder surgery.
After delays and a “demoralizing development deal with RCA,” The Whigs self-recorded their debut album Give ‘Em All a Big Fat Lip in an abandoned fraternity house with engineer Billy Bennett in the summer of 2005. In addition to bass, Sullivant played organ, piano, slide guitar, and acoustic guitar on the album. “Half The World Away” features a guitar solo by Sullivant. This solo was a noted climactic point in the Whigs’ live set.
Green Label Sound was a video/single-label funded by Pepsi/Mountain Dew. Kuroma approached them in 2009. Sullivant submitted “In New York Everything Is Tropical,” a song he described as “soulless.” Kuroma approached Sullivant in early 2009. Sullivant hosted MTV2’s Subterranean during the publicity campaign, and the video was played by MTV2 for nearly two months.
Sullivant returned to Kuroma in 2008. He initially decided not to have a personal web presence (MySpace, Facebook or a band website), but he managed to get Kuroma reviewed by print and online magazines. His initial reticence was due to a feeling of disgust at the marketing of bands and music. Sullivant claims that Paris’s sound was largely influenced by the Love, Peace, and Poetry compilation of obscure 60s psychedelic music. Paris received positive reviews and Spin Magazine praised the live band early on. The band performed at the 2009 Bonnaroo Festival as an opening act for Jarvis Cocker and Primal Scream in 2008/2009.
Since 2009 Sullivant has produced albums for bands including Gift Horse, Wages, and Colour Revolt.
