December 2007

Being a fes­tive band, we are hit­ting early and on both sides of Christ­mas this month to close out 2007 and get ready for 2008. Start­ing with a Dar­ryl McNeil-curated BRC fundraiser at the fab Gala­pa­gos Art Space in Williams­burg with Don McKenzie’s Red Lights to Rio, Fish­bone Angelo Moore’s Dr. Mad Vibe revue, Mill­sted and Yours Truly come on out and heop us raise soome money in this piece on the 9th.

Then to book­end Christ­mas and get all Kwanza about it too, curator-of-the-month Vijay Iyer was kind enough to ask the Sugar to reprezent on the 22nd at The Stone. Being one of the orig­i­nal Sugar-crew mem­bers we could only say where and when and we’d love to. So whoop here it is, the Sugar’s first per­for­mance at the Stone. We’ve heard leg­endary music is hap­pen­ing at John Zorn’s club and the Sugar plans to pro­vide it’s share.

Next, we’ll be back with Joce & Jef at Zebu­lon on the 27th and see if we can play in the new year with­out any one notic­ing –I know.… start­ing at mid­night it’s around three or four days worth of tunes, but we’ve been steadily increas­ing our work load and with the help of Barry Bond’s trainer.…fell up to it. Will it be allowed.… come and see!
