I was stuck on Love Sugar and couldn't find anything online. Then, just tonight I was listening to The Fizzies and the vocals sounded so familiar. I managed to remember the label SBK. I was a young graphic artist just out of college and my studio was doing CD packaging for Wilson Philips and Jesus Jones. WE must have gotten sample CDs of Love Sugar. The staff got to go see them is some small dive in the San Fernando Valley. Now that I know the name, I can hunt down the album. Great stuff!

Indeed, the members of Loud Sugar have moved on. That said, however. I haven't abandoned hope that the five of us will eventually reunite and make noise again with the red light illuminated. It would be a personnel dream come true...Steven Hitselberger (Guitar - Loud Sugar) Thanks, Ahunter. Indeed, the members of Loud Sugar have moved on. That said, however.

Flashback to the summer of ..oh...1993?...in Hamilton, Ontario Canada! I was living there after moving out of my folks place and starting college the previous year. The local downtown record store has a summer sidewalk sale...like 5 CDs for 10 bucks or something ( a real steal at the time) BUT it was only for all these totally obscure bands...you'd basically just buy them based on the CD cover. So I got a CD of the reggae band Wailing Souls, a and band called Bedlam a few others AND LOUD SUGAR. Well all those other discs are long gone..EXCEPT Loud Sugar. Which is funny since I was heavily into Nine Inch Nails and the industrial goth music of the time.....somehow this disc really stuck with me. especially funky little flower, creamsicle..etc . I still play it from time to time...it really takes me back to those early days of collage and hot Hamilton summers. I'm in Toronto now, 38, wife, 2 kids etc etc....it somehow makes me a bit sad to listen to it...it really evokes a time and place for me,. memories and feelings of a time long gone..it feels like it was a few lifetimes ago. I'm sure the band feels that way too hence their reluctance to talk about it. Music really is the sound track to our lives.

My college roommate, Chris, was his right hand man. I hung out with Harry when Loud Sugar came to Berkeley and San Francisco in about 1992. I also interviewed for a job running his office before he moved to Nashville in the early 1990s. The whole band was a lot of fun to hang out with back then. Good to hear he's doing well.

My friend ran sound at Industry night club in Pontiac, Michigan. He seemed to have a handful of promo CDs. I don't know how he got them. But, we would always use Loud Sugar to test the sound system whenever we were doing an install. Of course, it was instant attraction from Funky Little Flower through the end of the CD. But, I must have heard FLF and Instant Karma Coffee House a hundred times while we prepared each audio installation that winter. I still have my copy of the CD, and just joined a blog group for Power Pop fans. So, I did a Google search to see if anything was out there about one of my favorites from that era...Loud Sugar. There are a lot of Loud Sugar fans around the country. I'm always surprised when another person says "Yeah, I remember that song Instant Karma Coffee House." You'll find a lot of radio station disc jockeys were big fans of Loud Sugar too. I got turned on to Loud Sugar around Christmas of 1991.

I just grabbed it at a record store that was closing, I didn't even look twice and thought it was Bob Mould's Sugar. Turned out to be a nice slice of nineties Americana.
