Happy New Year and we're sure this is the one for both you and us! Sorry if we've been a bit quiet of late. Crafting the new album is taking up all our spare time! It's very different and we're hoping it'll make you punch your fists in the air, dance like a maniac and possibly cry.
Anyways, XFM told us that they've listed our debut lp, The Curse Of The Sugars as of their fave albums of the year. Of course we're super flattered and now it's up to you to vote it into the top ten. We'd be really grateful if you had the time to complete the voting form which can be found here.. XFM New Music Award
Personally, we'd vote Fuck Buttons and Lightspeed Champion as our subsequent 2nd and 3rd choices but, of course, it's entirely up to you..
Any votes you cast our way will make us feel like proud schoolchildren being given silver stars for 'good work'.
We're looking for The Sugars fans to help out at The Sugars gigs by handing out flyers and signing up mailing list names at gigs in return for free entry to their gigs and free CDs. If you are interested then please email rosie@badsneakers.co.uk and we will send you more details. x
Our last scheduled gig of the summer is soon approaching and we've managed to secure a cheap £4 list for anyone who wants it. Please just send us a message and we'll be sure to add you...
ALSO...
As you might have realised, we've been making musical soup again. We're playing around a bit as we start writing for the second album. This time it's some demos with XFM's lovely Chris Denman.
Let us know is you think it's tasty. Or not!
Goodbye is about a car. 'Dogs is about moving away.
