Big Sugar – All Hell For A Basement

Biography
Toronto, Canada (1991 – 2004, 2010 – present)
With its successful 2011 release of “Revolution Per Minute”, BIG SUGAR announced that they were not merely content to rest on their considerable laurels of past hits. Known for their innovative style that refuses to be easily labelled, as well as for their extraordinary live performances, which saw them close out last year with a full 40 city national tour, BIG SUGAR is back.
“Revolution Per Minute” was the first new studio release for BIG SUGAR in almost a decade, and the first two singles – “Roads Ahead” and “Little Bit A All Right” received extensive radio play, with “Roads Ahead” staying in the top 10 on the charts for the entire summer. Fans were quick to embrace the sounds of not only the singles but of all the songs on the critically acclaimed new album.
Led by Gordie Johnson on guitar and vocals, BIG SUGAR consists of Kelly “Mr. Chill” Hoppe on harmonica and saxophone, Garry Lowe on bass, Stephane “Bodean” Beaudin on drums and Friendlyness, who besides keyboards handles toasting duties for the band.
It is hard to find a fan of the band who has not found ways to attend multiple live performances, for as classic and well known as their music is, it is the impact the band makes while performing in front of an audience that resonates with music lovers – both old and new.

Big Sugar is awesome, great live show too... jcrb1995, they are a blues/reggae band, weed is part of that culture. Most great bands usually are heavily into weed.... Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Grateful Dead to name a few....

Saw these guys live at Sound Of Music. All they sang about was weed, either they've changed a lot, or there are some big lies about them ahaha. Also, everyone there was like 40 and almost all were smoking weed. And the bass was turned up way too much. Not my favourite live performance ever I'd have to say.

They should be famous all over the world...anyone who likes The Black Keys and similar bands would love these guys.

As Gordie said: "We're always too loud enough." Couldn't be more right than he is. I guess Jimmie Vaughan would also agree, I'm thinking of a quote by Jimmie in an interview some years ago: "Q: 'Jimmie, why do you use two amps?' A: 'Because two is better than one.' " Hilarious AND right at the same time. Too bad Big Sugar is no longer, but long live Grady - the loudest Canadian band from Texas! :)

I agree with the rest of y'all. Smokin' live band. And LOUD. No longer an item but Gordie has formed Grady. Less reggae and more rock n blues.

Can anyone upload some uncorrupted versions of their tunes? (ie: dear mr. fantasy) This music is just too damned good to be done wrong this way.

Heated is one of my all time favorite albums ever.

All Hell for a Basement has been stuck in my head, thanks to the 100.3 The Bear in Edmonton. Great song!
