Big Sugar
REVOLUTION PER MINUTE is the first new and complete Big Sugar album that's been produced in a decade. You can thank whatever God it is you pray to for that, but you should spare a little gratitude for Texas, too. After a banner year of producing artists such as Gov't Mule, Warren Haynes, North Mississippi Allstars, The Trews and Wide Mouth Mason, "I really walked into the studio with the attitude, ‘We run tings, tings na run we'," says Gordie Johnson, the mercurial guitar genius who unleashed the Hugo Boss clad Big Sugar back in the ‘lumberjack plaid' grunge era. "It was an attitude I always had germinating, but coming to Texas and living here has really nurtured the outlaw side of me.

This was my tenth time seeing Gordie and the guys (started back in the 90's) and this was the best concert they've done. The set was filled with the best of the best, the guys were all performing to perfection and the venue was great. The only thing I could want is to see them again.

Not sure if Big Sugar's been playing too many outdoor venues but the sound mix ruined what could have been an amazing show Friday night at the Burt. The band brought lots of energy and Gordie Johnson showed his musicianship by playing with a splint on his right thumb, but Garry Lowe's base line was so over-amped, it was almost impossible to hear Kelly Hoppe's harp and sax. The raps of DJ Friendlyness were incomprehensible mud and its a good thing fans know all the Big Sugar lyrics since Johnson's vocals were lost in the mush as well. Hope the thumb heals fast Gordie!

If you've ever seen Big Sugar in concert you know how energetic and amazing of a concert they give. Well, acoustically they did not disappoint. Obviously it was a mellow concert compared to the traditional concert, but, they sounded amazing and it was great to really hear the lyrics and music. Playing in a small venue was also great because there wasn't a bad seat in the place, you felt really close to the band

Fantastic! Chose the concert on a whim because I like 3 of their songs, was NOT disappointed, in fact it was the opposite! I preferred the quaint, more intimate atmosphere. We were able to enjoy Big Sugar to their fullest without having to fight to hear the songs over the loud screaming people that they have in the huge concert halls/stadiums. FANTASTIC show Big Sugar!!! The fact that there was NO opening act it was Big Sugar the entire night was great!!

Overall - great show! Big Sugar definitely know how to play to its audience! They also know how to get the crowd to "jam" with Big Sugar. Reggae was very prominent during their performance which, personally, I could do without. Overall, great show and thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. The opening act (the Balconies) was the biggest surprise of the evening! Thank you Big Sugar and come back to Prince George soon.

I've always enjoyed Big Sugar's music but, being more of a hard rock fan I didn't expect anything amazing from them in a concert. Was I ever wrong. Their concert at the commodore was probably in the top 5 concerts I have ever experienced, it was simply amazing. Gordie rocked the house with the old classics as well as some great songs from RPM. They ended with "On the scene" which was the ultimate finishing song. Gained a whole new respect for them, and will be sure to make every show within a day trip from me in the future!

Big Sugar played to an intimate crowd at the Rapids Theater in Niagara Falls, NY last Tuesday. Gordie Johnson and the Big Sugar crew played as if it were an 80,000 people stadium. His guitar work is legendary and once he starts playing, he would stop. Amazing show, highly recommened.

Wide Mouth Mason came out and played less than an hour, what a ripoff. Big Sugar was loud and obnoxious and the harmonica player looked like he was wearing a melted Richard Nixon mask. The music was ok, but this guy has no talent for writing lyrics at all.
