Smooth, cool & looking sharp,a blast of horns and uniquely Australian funk and soul. Sugarbeat's all original tracks, on their debut record 'Days', explore a range of emotions and raw energy distilled through the hearts and minds of these talented musicians. One of Australia's greatest original groove projects.
Your music is superb, top of the line. There's something about your voice that's sensational. Love the quality. Gosh, and I really love the song "Days". It's so beautiful.
Thank you so much for all of your kind words also. I'm going to drop you another message here again soon. Your music is very soothing. Be sure to stop by and say hello if you'd like.
