Sugar Pill in the Month of May
So you want to know what's going on with Sugar Pill these days. Well, actually, there's a lot going on. We have added two new cities to our touring rotation and couldn't be happier about it. We went up to Pittsburgh to open up for a great band called Sauce. These guys couldn't have treated us any better, and (I sad GOD DAMN!) were they good. We'll be repeating the journey soon and look forward to playing in Pittsburg again. We just got back from a trip to Cincinnati opening up for Heavy Weather. We love these guys. We've known them for years and always look forward to playing with them. Jason, their percussion player, sat in with us for a slammin' version of And You Ask Why, and we hope for a repeat experience when they come and open for us at Little Brother's on May 22 - make sure you get there early enough to hear them, they will start around 10:00. We still are looking for a keyboard player, percussionist, or horn player to jam with. Give us a ring! If you are interested, call us at 614-451-9865. We are serious, are you? May should be a great month for us, we will be premiering at Mekka on May 16, and should have even more new songs to unveil for your listening pleasure. Have you heard our new songs that we are playing out currently? And She Said, Hero In Me, and Ain't So Bad are the names of the newest ones out, so let us know what you think! Well, we gotta go practice, so come check us out, and thanks for all the support you've given us! Later,
Sugar Pill

OU DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME RIOT
I'm not so sure what the sixties were like, although I see a fair amount of it's cultural fan fair down here in Athens Ohio. I am currently serving the last installment of my five year sentence behind the rusty bars of Ohio University. Being born in 74' gives me little insight into the actual ideologies of the sixties countercultures so I am no authority; not by a long shot. But being as naive as I claim to be I find myself drawn to go out on a limb here and make a pretty risky assumption. That is as follows: I don't think the sixties counter culture would ever, under any circumstance, even in their most chaotic drug induced cerebral state, PROTEST DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME! Do you?
I wasn't here for the skirmish that occurred this time around, but I did witness the catalyst's upstart during the week prior. I was completely oblivious to the possibility that the embarrassing so called "riot" that took place last year in response to the area bars closing an hour early was still on the minds of local law enforcement and media. But sure enough around mid-week one of the local newspapers ran a headline that said something to the effect that "Local Law Enforcement Calls In Help From Around The State To Thwart This Year's Riot". The invitation was sent out far and wide. So as to not let the cops down a couple of thousand students attended the party sponsored by the officers of the peace and the local media. I'm told that as the students filtered out of the bars police in gear were waiting demanding that "you KIDS go home". This condescending greeting fueled the fire, and the party was just getting started. After everyone who was invited had shown up the dance floor opened with the riot ready police, in helmets and vests, forming what was described as the worlds stiffest congo line. But it wasn't the quality of the dancing that held spectators in their gaped mouthed trance, but the party favors the congo line began dishing out. Knee knockers for all!
All in all it's a pretty good news day for the bloodsuckers. And I am sure that the hosts have received a gaggle of thank you letters for their hospitality. Oh well. The spirit of the sixties lives on with it's new room mate the totalitarian military regime. I pray for my brothers and sisters who fight that ever waging war against the injustice and treachery that is DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME.
