secondtube Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 Just grabbed a show of theirs off of STG, and i'm really enjoying it... Whats the word on these guys? Are they old school? are they new? could we bring them up here? or are these guys super popular and i've just been in a hole or something??? Funk is good on a Sunday morning.
Tungsten Gruvsten Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 I got mine at Rotate this or She Said Boom, i'm sure of it. It's probably being distributed by Fusion III these days so if you want your own copy it's out there...or i can copy it no prob... I'm listening to the James Brown cover on it right now...fuggin killer!
briguy Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 Sugarman Three are playing in Montreal November 29.
DevO Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 If you're into this, Do Right! just put out a compilation called "Required Listening", all Canadian artists, and it looks really good. John Kong, a DJ from Toronto (Movement), put it together I think. Check it out! If anyone here has a copy of it, I'd love to hear what you think. Sugarman 3 come around Toronto every now and then. They played for free a few years ago at the Jazz Festival on that outdoor stage at the Harbourfront Centre. I think Antibalas might've played that day too ().

I know (for obvious reason) that Sonic Unyon used to distro in in Canada, as did FAB, but the label is gone. if Fusion III has copies, I'd be surprised.
Palms Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Sugarman Three are great! From Brooklyn, NY, the band has at least two albums out - 1998's Sugar's Boogaloo on the now-defunct Desco label and and new album out earlier this year on Neil Sugarman's own Daptone label. Check out the label's website at www.daptonerecords.com. They play in Toronto a few times a year and the members of the Sugarman 3 (which I believe is a five piece) are also in the great bands Sharon Jones and the Dap-kings and the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, who are stunning at times. Speaking of Antibalas, if anyone has the pre-Antibalas band The Daktaris' album Soul Explosion on Desco and wants to get rid of it, I'll play $20 for a used CD and even more for the vinyl. Also, check out the compilation Keb Darge Presents Funk for the 21st Century on the Toronto label Do!Right Music. It's fantastic.
secondtube Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Posted November 17, 2003 ahhh, that makes sense... Antibalas kicked my ass SO FUCKING (sorry for being so blunt) HARD when i saw them this year... I could only imagine what it would be like to see Antibalas with Sugarman Three... I would definately have a heart attack.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Hey i've got the Daktari's on CD if you need a copy, I'm pretty sure I saw one in the racks at Encore Records in KW last time it was there. Fuggin awesome album!
Palms Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 I would be forever indebted. I have been looking for it for more than 3 years now...
