There has been some discussion in the comments thread of my last entry about the band I mentioned glowingly, Big Sugar. Simon is already a fan, and joined me in lamenting their demise (we'll have to hoist a pint in their memory next time we get together, Si). Cin and Mary expressed interest in experiencing the sound for themselves.
Well, I have not so far been able to find any samples of Big Sugar's music on the web, but try this little conceptual exercise for fun. Visit the MySpace pages of Grady (new project of Gordie (Grady) Johnson, former singer and lead guitarist), Mr. Chill and the Witness (harmonica virtuoso Kelly Hoppe's new band), and Truth and Rights (a Toronto band featuring Big Sugar alumni Garry Lowe, and Moja).
Did you give them all a good listen? OK, now imagine those three sounds all squished together into one band. That, my friends, is the awesomeness that was Big Sugar.
edited to add: If you have iTunes, you can go to the iTunes store and do a search for Big Sugar. Short samples of each song are available for preview.

The album I downloaded from iTunes is AWESOME. Thanks for the new band...old band...defunct (sigh) band.--Cin
Hey, they are on Amazon. Just picked up two of their CDs for a couple dollars each.
Another great site for checking out snippets of music by bands is www.mp3.com.
No registering, no fees.
Only bad thing is, often the snippet is not long enough to get a real good feel.
