Sugarball

Sugarball vocalist Shotsgee has rock in his veins, as 4th cousin of the 6th drummer of metal rock god sensations, Clobbertoxin. He always knew he would find his way to the studio and the stage, scrawling lyrics that repeated in his dreams and starting bands since he was old enough to have playdates. Sugarball was the bastard child from his torrid college romance with bassist Jules.

Sugarball have known each other their entire lives, yet found themselves in the right place to make magic. Forged in the fiery crucible that is a garage in the armpit of America, the original lineup included Shotsgee (vocals), Jules (bass), Thumper (drums), and Sphinx (guitar).

After college, Sugarball scattered. Shotsgee went to roadie for his cousin in Clobbertoxin. Jules did time in a Thai prison after questionable packages were discovered in her luggage. Thumper went to rehab after being found unconscious in a crackhouse in East L.A. with a well-known starlet. Sphinx backpacked through Europe and ended up marrying a prince of Tonga and siring his heir.

When producer and mixologist Dirk discovered a forgotten Sugarball demo, he hunted Shotsgee down to reunite Sugarball. He also brought in 2nd guitarist, Tom, former guitar tech for nu-metal chart toppers, Thrash Wednesday.

When COVID hit, Dirk quarantined Sugarball in a Chicago loft studio. They spent lockdown doing teambuilding exercises and trust falls and creating music about the meaning of life.
