introduction to Sugar

Sugar is the Akron, Ohio group of "chicks who rock."  They're glam/power pop/fourth generation punk/with British invasion influences.  The band's leader is guitarist Rose Kuhel.  The album, 11 AFTER, was produced by former Warrant songwriter Jani Lane.  You can be their myspace friends at www.myspace.com/sugarband.  They told me that right now they're the most viewed Ohio band on myspace.  I don't know if that's true, but they're into doing shows with other MidWest myspace bands, so if you're in a MidWest band, e-mail them at their site.

One of the things I like about this group is how much the singer has captured the personality of the group's leader.  To me this has happened only a couple of times in music history with AC/DC and Cheap Trick.  So I really believe Sugar can end up to be a major group, they want to.  Right now they're playing pubs.....
