What a cool mix. Remember last time at the Moa we played as a trio with Jeremy, sub lead vocalist? Well this time we had Jeremy and Juliet (our resident lead vocalist) and really had a great time! It was a good balance and we called some great songs off the list.

Bassist Nathaniel even managed to solo only once on You Can Call Me Al. Great work there sport.

The cooler weather brought a few more people inside to watch the dynamic singing between the two lead singers, both powerful singers, and it was fun to watch them work together.

Some other songs to note: a particularly stirring rendition of “April Sun in Cuba” (that song never gets old) and even “My Sharona” went off without a hitch. Jeremy rocked the solo; it’s a hard one!

See you next Friday again at the Flying Moa!

SugarBang – New Zealand’s Sweetest Covers Band

Summer is trying really hard to make a full, strong appearance this year. But it’s not trying hard enough! But, this Friday was warm enough and the sunset was pretty spectacular, really.

So we did something a little bit different: The first set was all acoustic! We banged out a full set of drummer-less acoustic tunes for the dinner crowd. We are making sure not to rattle any plates during the dinner hour. Check out the set list:

• Have you ever seen the rain
• Rock and Roll
• I’m yours
• Lazy Song
• Steal my kisses
• Stuck in the middle
• Wonderwall
• Rehab
• Valerie
• Rolling in the deep

Sets 2-4 were the full on rocking sets you know and love, was great to have Juliet up front belting them out and the band as a whole wasn’t too rusty even though it had been 30 days+ (and a year, ha) since the last gig.

This Friday we’re back at the Moa, come check it out – there’s always a good drink special to be had.

First off, a big SugarBang thank you to all the Facebook fans who showed up to our gig this last Friday! Love seeing Facebook work wonders and do its thing.

We also advertise gigs on Mukuna Gig Guide and Eventfinder so check them out for any of our future gigs. Of course we’ll update the Facebook events page weekly so just “Fan” us and you’ll never miss a gig.

We banged through a more classic rock set, lots of people were wearing black this night, and we unveiled “Another One Bites The Dust” by Queen; what a rocking tune! We don’t play any songs that don’t feel right, and this song is staying in the setlist.

One of my good friends might want us to play her birthday party; will keep you posted on how this goes! Birthday parties and weddings are so festive we love playing these especially.

See you back at The Flying Moa on the 28th of October! Signed, New Zealand’s Sweetest Covers Band, SugarBang.

The New Brew is deep in the heart of Albany, it’s tucked away in a residential neighborhood in the center of a thriving street of restaurants bars and dairies. We love playing here because it’s always packed and fun to play!

This night was no exception. We love these nights when there’s a 21st birthday celebration (and there seems to be at least one here every week), they just have unbridled energy. Wild, man!

We played four great sets emphasising the music of British chanteuses Amy Winehouse and Adele. In between there was a speech given by the birthday boy and speeches given by his friends; we stopped playing so they could give it their full attention.

We rounded out the night with a celebratory beer – we scored a wonderful wedding gig on Waiheke for April next year for a client who found us at one of our other gigs. She loves our setlist, check it out – we’re available for weddings as well as corporate functions and private events, so don’t be afraid to contact us now to hire us for your event!
