I played drums in the band and thank you for the kind words.. Steve the guitar player and myself are trying to find a way for us to get back together for another CD

Add me to the list of those who remember this band and appreciate them as well. The CD is sitting on my rack and Home plays as I type this.

I remember this band, I was in 8th grade and my older brother brought the tape home and I loved it!! Years later, I asked him if he still had it and her said he through it away because it reminded him of the girl that gave it to him...damn it!

Since then, I have been searching for it and today, the search ends. after googling the band, I fouond many, many copies of the CD for dirt cheap on Amazon.com, totally rad.

I am slowly rebuilding my early '90's obscure collection again, and speaking of early '90's obscurity, I also just purchased a CD of the debut album for The Origin. Remember them? circa 1991

I paid full retail for that cd and still have it. Just put it on my ipod recently. I came across this thread because I wanted sheet music for my daughters for my two faves: Change the Weather and The Sun's Come into the Room. I actually had no idea that the band's popularity was so short-lived, or that there would be so little info about them available. I assumed I would go to Wikipedia and find all kinds of information. Oh well. Glad to hear some of them are still active in music.

We have that exact same CD … signed by all five band members (at a gig in Orange County, CA) … and YES, they were a great band. We still listen to them on our IPODs … over 15 years later … It's fun music … with a kick. There are tons of bands out there right now, with a similar slant on what's happening … and it's all good. POP, ya … but pop that makes you think … and that's always good.

If the guys are reading this … you had a great sound … and it's still alive and well … thanks for being a part of our lives.

I absolutely loved – still love – Loud Sugar. I first found them on a sample tape that SBK must have put out called “No Flies Here” – it had “No Ozone” and “Instant Karma Coffee House” on it (as well as a couple from Jesus Jones). Had to check out the rest of their songs so I bought the cassette – was not disappointed.

Still have both of those tapes today!

Hello,
I saw Loud Sugar play in a club in North Hollywood CA,and found them to be amazing.Dave had THAT look.I've had at least 3 copies of the CD and last I heard Mr.Grover was doing Kid's cds or children's music! They were sooo ahead of their time.Also,I have the video for “Instant Karma Coffee House”.

add me to the loud sugar fandom. i heard them in '91 on the “the edge” in dallas texas. this was back when they played actual alternative college rock, and one could hear upcoming bands like “loud sugar”- naturally it was “instant karma coffee house” that caught me ear, and i bought the cassette and listened to it constantly that whole summer of hanging out at the lake and being stoned a lot.
every once in a while i do a search on them, and lo and behold, your post. thanks for the mp3s, the cassette long ago bit the dust! and i've not seen it in cut outs anywhere… and yes, “no ozone” didn't age well- but “creamsicle”? THAT'S MY JAM. xoxo
