Powertool Records is pleased as Punch to announce the reissue of Sugarbug’s lovely album ‘Flutterbye’. Normally we’d take on the task of telling you about the band and their music – and we do it most happily, as we really love our artists and their albums.

However we received such a nicely written letter from Sugarbug about the album, and we couldn’t really top it, so we thought we’d let them say it for themselves…

An open letter from Sugarbug.

“Hi/Kia Ora everyone!

Thanks for checking out The Bug. We’re a band from Wellington, New Zealand/Aotearoa. All of our songs are written by Sean O’Leary/Sugarbug except for track ten on the album which was written by iconic N.Z. band The Clean. (Without meaning to blow our own e-flat tenor horn, David Kilgour from The Clean really loved our version).

A quick overview of Sugarbug’s history: We have one album called ‘Flutterbye’ which we received Creative N.Z. funding for. Four of our songs reached number one on Wellington radio station Radio Active: Bunny’s on the Run, Just Another Drop, Lost in Space and Do Your Thing (which was also number one on Dunedin’s Radio One for eleven weeks straight).

‘Lost in Space’ was voted best un-released single in New Zealand by public vote (at the time we didn’t have an album). Several of our songs had significant air-play on New Zealand’s other indie stations. We’ve played two ‘Big Day Outs’ and as well as headlining have also supported the following bands/musos: Pavement, Tanya Donnely, The Clean, Dimmer, Shihad, The Headless Chickens, The 3D’s, H.D.U, The Chills, The Verlaines, Bike, StereoBus, Bailterspace, Garageland, Superette and others.

We’re currently reforming and the next album is pretty much written. We hope that you love our music and that it brings you some sort of positive satisfaction.

Love from The Bug xo

about

PowertoolRecords Auckland, New Zealand

Rough Church was conceived after the demise of Ferdinand, the band that existed from 1994-2003. Baseball, Concrete, rare steamy rain, tumbleweeds and lost poems about dirty chimneys are what influence this band. It spits out indie pop classic jams that get us compared to everything from Minutemen, Pixies, Broken Social Scene, WAR and Grand Funk. Deal with it! We can't get away from it. ... more
