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

SugarBang plays the Moa on 2-Sep-2011

SugarBang loves the Flying Moa, it’s our local stomping ground. We love playing here, it’s spacious, the staff are awesome, and the neighborhood, Ellerslie on the edge of St. Johns, is up and coming.

The night started slow but become good and solid with regulars and some new folks. Thanks to Mark for brining his 10 friends, it sounded like you guys were having an awesome birthday celebration!

The band ran through an adapted setlist with lots of new stuff, we’re playing songs like Mr. Brightside by the Killers and Valerie by Amy Winehouse. It’s our mission to keep changing things up so you can see us again and again without hearing the same songs.

See you at the next gig!

Played The Flying Moa last night and had a great show. We played several new songs too, I’m Yours by Jason Mraz, Lazy Song by Bruno Mars and Superstition by Stevie Wonder. We got dancers on the floor with Dreadlock Holiday and You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC. Bogans in the house!!

We set up on the other side of the room with our backs to the dining area and it just made sense. Before we were hidden away behind a column and two walls. Not very rock and roll!

Special thanks to Simon and Nitika, Friends Clint and Mariana, and Hamish’s girlfriend Tren and her crew for coming along to the show.

We’re looking forward to more gigs in the near future at what we like to call our “home base”.
