First You Get The Sugar first met at a free-for-all jam at The Pound one night while an Irish girl danced to the future Sugar drummer’s grooves. After the show, everyone in the venue was trying
to get kisses from the dancing Irish lass; not surprisingly, only the drummer received the much sought after little lick on his hand, allegedly Irish for “find me on facebook.”
The four other musicians watching in awe approached him,
wanting to share in his hypnotic aura, his dazzling musical ability, and his new girlfriend. Like baby turtles slipping in a puddle of ooze, First You Get The Sugar was born.

It was no small surprise to discover that the five musicians hailed from all across Canada and the northern
USA. The members originate from such diverse cultural hotspots as British Colombia, Quebec City,
Montreal, New York and Nova Scotia. The subsequently diverse influences of the group’s members
have all merged to create a danceable circus-pop sound that
has become the Sugar’s trademark. Recording in a one-room apartment on equipment inherited from an old rich uncle, The Sugar set about creating their first EP. To alleviate the boredom between takes, the band invested in a mini-arcade
version of ‘Frogger.’ They also invented a series of their own
games: Thundernut, The Greek
Tragedy, Gunplay, and Fire-The-Dart-at-The-Mirror.

Since then, word has careened its way down the corridors and alleyways of Montreal to the point
where the band can’t even order
drinks at the bar without being approached
by hoards of drunken college girls.

At least that’s what their bio says.
