Muso’s Guide Introduces… Sugar & Gold

Sugar & Gold

Sugar & Gold

This California quintet makes a fine mix of musical genius, even though they sometimes appear to hail from a different era…or maybe even a different planet. Known to arrive on stage in kneepads, a hairnet, and a flashy concoction of an outfit, lead singer Philipp Alberto Minnig (aka Pam) always works up a sweat while sliding around the stage and jumping into the crowd. And their music is not scanty on the action, either. In fact, it’s nearly impossible for anyone to stand still when their music is playing. If you like uncontrollable dancing and sing-alongs, then they’re definitely worth checking out.

The band’s debut album, Crème, (released in June 2007 under Antenna Farm Records), is a sultry mix of funk and electro that would be well-suited for a posthumous cameo from legendary soul man Marvin Gaye. And we hear they have a new 12” EP due out in October (vinyl/download only), featuring a remix by Justin Van Der Volgen of !!! and Outhud, as well as a new full-length album due out early next year.

After performing at the South by Southwest Festival in March and serving as an opening act on part of the latest of Montreal tour, Sugar & Gold will be embarking on a fall tour of the States, starting in October. Hopefully we’ll see them in London soon!
